Meanwhile the\u00a0Electoral Commission<\/a>\u00a0(EC) has urged electorates to trust them as they will ensure the voting is done in a free, fair, and transparent manner.<\/p>\n

Reacting to allegations by the camp of one of the independent candidates that some ballot boxes have been stuffed in an attempt to rig the election, the Commission asked the public to ignore that claim.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time the allegation was made, we had not even started printing the ballot. How then can someone stuff the ballot boxes. And how is that even going to be done?\u00a0 Because our ballot box is transparent, and we open it before we start voting.<\/p>\n

After close of polls, we open it there and then to count it in the presence of everybody. So how possible can somebody stuff the ballot box? These are false allegations and must not be given any attention. So, everybody should have confidence in the system. We as a Commission will not allow anybody to cheat or be cheated\u201d, Ashanti Regional Director of Electoral Commission, Benjamin Bannor-Bio told 3news.com.<\/p>\n

Mr Bannor-Bio however implored candidates to choose agents who are vigilant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe candidate should also trust the system and provide agents who are very effective, know the processes and can defend their rights. It\u2019s not just bringing anyone who is loud, but can\u2019t differentiate between 69 and 96\u201d, he advised the contesting candidates.<\/p>\n

Earlier, in interview with 3news\u2019Ibrahim Abubakar, officials of EC assured that there will not be an issue of delay in all the 204 polling stations.<\/p>\n
