Police on manhunt for thugs who disrupted voting in Ashanti Region


The Ghana Police Service has launched a manhunt for a group of thugs who stormed the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council and disrupted today’s Council of State Regional Election in Kumasi.

This is contained in a press release posted on Facebook, February 11.

“Police are currently reviewing all available footage to identify and arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice,” the Police Service assured.

Earlier in the day, there was confusion at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council where voting had been completed and counting was about to begin when ‘machomen’ evaded the premises and disrupted the counting process.

They destroyed all the ballots just when the EC officials were about to begin counting. All 86 delegates had voted for the twelve candidates and were awaiting the winner to be announced when the chaos started.
