In the Fanteakwa North constituency, voters demonstrated exceptional dedication as they arrived early at the Begoro polling station, specifically at Apebooso, to cast their votes in Ghana's 2024 general elections.

By 6:20 AM, a significant number of people had already formed orderly queues, eagerly waiting to participate in the democratic process.

Despite the early turnout, Electoral Commission officials were still finalising preparations to commence voting.

At the time of observation, critical steps such as setting up voting booths and distributing materials, including ballot boxes, had not been fully completed. Official voting was scheduled to start at 7:00 AM, but delays in the setup raised concerns about potential bottlenecks later in the day.

The 2024 general elections are ongoing across 276 constituencies in the country, with 18.8 million people expected to vote.
