The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed that there
was a fire outbreak at its Regional Office in Sarpeiman near
Accra in the early hours of today, Friday, 14th August, 2020.
The fire struck the storage facility of the Sarpeiman Office
and destroyed a number of used items including old forms,
ballot boxes and referendum stationery.
The fire did not affect the Main Administration Block.
Personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service were able to
bring the fire under control.
The Commission entreats the General Public to ignore the
falsehood being peddled on social media to the effect that
its Data Centre was destroyed by the fire. The Electoral
Commission assures the General Public that its Data
Centre is safe and secure.
The Electoral Commission is working closely with the Fire
Service and the security Agencies to unearth the cause of
the fire.
