Confirming the story to DAILY GUIDE, Ampadu Pabi, the district electoral officer, said that the theft was detected on Sunday.

He indicated that after the NPP’s parliamentary primaries on Saturday, he left the office at about 6pm when everything was intact.

He disclosed that he had since reported the case to the police and the Western Regional EC boss, Mr Stephen Opoku-Mensah.
