The voting process has delayed in majority of polling stations in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency on Friday, as officials of the Electoral Commission delayed in delivering the election materials.

As at 08 20 hours majority of the polling stations the Ghana News Agency visited were yet to receive any of the materials to start the voting process.

None of the about five polling stations at the Kwabenya D/C Primary school, have started voting as at 0825 hours as a result of the late arrival of the election materials.

The story was not different at the Christ Alone Chapel and the Faith Tabernacle Church Polling Stations respectively, which are all near the Abuoma Junction area at Kwabenya.

At all the centers the GNA visited, angry and desperate electorate expressed their disappointment at the way the EC has handled the election process, resulting in such delays.

Some explained that they had been queuing since 0400 hours and expressed the hope that the voting process will start soon for them to go back to their duties.

There was however a heavy presence of uniformed personnel of the Ghana Police Service, Prisons and the Fire Service to maintain peace and order. The first ballot was cast at 9.17 hours at the Comet Estates Polling Stations after materials had delayed for about an hour.

The materials though arrived at 08.07 hours, and it took the Electoral Officer and his Assistants a long time to sort out the various materials to start the process.

The initially angry electorate expressed their solidarity with the officials by clapping when the process eventually began.
