NPP Delagates Congress: Confusion delays voting at Ashanti Region TESCON centre
Confusion broke out at the Ashanti Region TESCON polling area during the New Patriotic Party’s national delegates congress after some delegates struggled to locate their names on the Electoral Commission’s album.
Disorder erupted at the Ashanti Region TESCON polling station during the New Patriotic Party’s delegates convention when several delegates were unable to find their names in the Electoral Commission’s album. This caused delays and unrest among the delegates who feared they might be excluded from the vote. The confusion arose around five and a half hours into the election, which commenced at 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 3.
Police intervened to restore order, guiding the agitated delegates back into line while officials tried to resolve their concerns. However, the TESCON National Coordinator refuted claims that the album containing the delegates' names was missing. He clarified that the region comprised 50 TESCON institutions, with delegates expected to vote at three designated locations labeled A, B, and C. The problem stemmed from some delegates mistakenly going to the incorrect polling center before eventually locating their names at the correct one.
The coordinator affirmed that the TESCON album had been accessible throughout the electoral process and all 50 delegates' names had been included in the EC's sub-album, ensuring they could vote. Once the confusion was cleared, voting resumed, and the situation was subsequently restored to normalcy.
