A man has reportedly been arrested for attempting to rig the Ayawaso West Wuogon elections during collation at the University of Ghana’s Business School.

According to reports, the suspect was found in possession of unstamped ballot papers, raising suspicions about the integrity of the process.

The collation of results in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency has since been suspended following the unauthorized entry that sparked chaos at the collation centre.

The confusion began when a vehicle arrived carrying ballot boxes filled with ballot papers. Supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), growing suspicious, insisted on inspecting the boxes. Upon discovery of irregularities, tensions escalated, leading to the destruction of the ballot boxes and the scattering of several ballot papers.

The incident has heightened concerns over the integrity of the collation process, as significant damage was caused to election materials. Authorities have yet to provide further details on the situation or announce when collation will resume.
