A huge billboard of the Managing Director of Ghana Post, Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour, has caused a stir at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries in Asante Akyem South constituency in the Ashanti Region.

A video posted by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Twitter shows a chaotic scene of people arguing about the billboard, which was set up a few metres from the voting centre.

Some people in the video are heard saying "is this how we do things?" while others say "it looks very nice".

Obour, who is also a former president of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), is an aspiring parliamentary candidate of the NPP for the constituency.

He is contesting against the incumbent MP, Kwaku Asante-Boateng, a seasoned lawyer and Deputy Minister of Railway Development, and Eric Amofa.

The billboard, which bears Obour's image and the slogan "The Time for Change", has been criticised by some observers as a breach of the electoral rules and an attempt to influence the delegates.

The NPP parliamentary primaries are currently ongoing at 277 voting centres across the 16 regions.
