Reports indicate that voting at the UMaT A and B polling units in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem constituency has experienced delays as officials of the Electoral Commission lament the absence of presidential stamps.

It was revealed that two parliamentary stamps were available, but there was no presidential stamp. As a result, information was sent to the EC office in Tarkwa to make provision to replace the missing stamp before the election could commence.

Despite this challenge, electorates are waiting patiently in line to cast their votes before returning to their respective workplaces.

Journalist Thomas Tetteh reports that several voters arrived early to cast their vote before heading to work, but the unfortunate delay has disrupted their plans.

According to Tetteh, residents are hopeful that the challenges will be resolved promptly so they can cast their votes.
