“They picked 20 constituencies all over Ghana and one constituency is Tumu which is a big honour. Our team is 12 in Ghana, we have expert in every team. We look at all aspects of the elections from training, preparations, electronic gadgets and the electoral body. We are now waiting for the operator to come and set up and we will see how it goes. Everybody can come around to see whether things work the way everyone expects”
