Bekwai Municipality records shortage of security personnel at polling stations

Voting in the Bekwai Municipality in the Ashanti region is ongoing smoothly despite shortage of security personnel at some polling stations.

As of 11: 00 am, out of the 185 polling stations in the municipality, only 96 polling stations had security personnel at post.

The Bekwai District Police Commander, Superintendent Ebenezer Benso, told Graphic Online in an interview that the shortage of the security personnel at some polling stations was due to the fact that some security personnel were unable to cast their vote on the special voting day and that such officers are now taking part in today’s voting.

He said measures have been put in place to ensure that as soon as the officers who had gone to vote come back, they would be dispatched to the centres without security personnel.

Superintendent Benson said adequate measures have been instituted to ensure that nobody foments trouble in the area.

The Bekwai Director of the Electoral Commission, Mr Sadique Wahid, said the electoral process was going on successfully.
