The Electoral Commission (EC) has clarified that the individual shown in a viral video stuffing ballot papers into a ballot box is neither its staff nor was the incident related to the Ejisu by-election.

In a statement dated Thursday, May 2, 2024, the EC stated that the video "is unrelated to the operations of Ghana's Electoral Commission, let alone the Ejisu by-election."

The Commission pointed out discrepancies in the video, noting that the individual in question was wearing a green vest, while EC staff typically wear blue vests.

Additionally, another person in the video was seen wearing an orange vest, further indicating that the incident was not related to EC operations.

The EC also highlighted that its polling stations are usually located in open spaces, whereas the polling station in the video appeared to be in an enclosed area.

Moreover, the statement emphasized that each polling station in Ejisu was manned by at least six police officers, in addition to candidate agents, a situation not reflected in the video.
