The Electoral Commission (EC) has engaged speed boats to transport electoral materials to the dwarf islands and other hard-to-reach areas in the Afram Plains North and South constituencies.
In addition, the EC has secured support from the Ghana Air Force to airlift materials, aiming to expedite the collation of results in areas with limited road access and poor internet connectivity.
In the 2020 elections, the EC faced delays in receiving results from remote areas due to network challenges. To avoid a repeat of these issues, John Appiah Baffour, the Eastern Regional Director of the EC, assured in an interview with Citi News that all necessary measures are in place for a swift and efficient results collation process this year.
“This time around, in Afram Plains South and North, we have made provisions so that we get the results early. What we have done is that we have hired speedboats to retrieve the results.
“The Ghana Army is also providing us with a chopper to airlift the materials and also bring them back. So we are hoping that this time around, everything will go on smoothly, and then we will get the results as early as possible to declare.”
