A touching scene unfolded at a polling centre in the Ablekuma North Constituency when an elderly male delegate was assisted to vote without stepping out of the taxi that brought him to the venue.<\/p>\n

The aged man, who walks with the support of a stick, found it difficult to move into the voting area. After assessing the situation, Accra-based TV3 reported that polling officials brought the ballot paper to him in the vehicle to ensure he was not denied his right to vote.<\/p>\n

Observers at the centre said the arrangement was made to protect the delegate\u2019s safety while allowing him to participate fully in the exercise.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an 87-year-old woman also demonstrated remarkable commitment by turning up at a voting centre in the Northern Region to cast her ballot. <\/p>\n

She arrived as a pillion rider on a motorcycle and, despite her age, insisted on taking part in the process, drawing admiration from party officials and fellow delegates at the venue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
