Officials of the Electoral Commission (EC) in the Ashanti Region have said that concerns expressed by the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in connection with the omission of some inscriptions on the parliamentary ballot papers to be used for this year’s elections, will be addressed at its national headquarters in Accra.
The party rejected the parliamentary ballot papers over the omissions.
The regional chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, led a protest at the regional office of the EC to that effect.
According to the party, the initials of the NPP were missing on the ballot papers.
The party said it did not understand why the initials of all the other contesting parties appeared except those of the NPP.
But the Ashanti Regional Director of the EC has assured the party officials that they “will communicate the development to our head office and get back to you”.
He further explained that “the NPP agents were at the printing house” and wondered why the officials did not raise such concerns before printing.

THE EC IS SMART SO NPP BE VIGILANT
where were the npp reps when the ballot papers were being printed .. This important eluded them. This should tell them that coming events are casting their shadow so should shine their eyes not to let any trick passes undected
EC HAS AGENDA TO RIG FOR NDC. NDC KNOWS HOW TO USE TAX PAYERS MONEY TO INFLUENCE THE MINDS OF JOURNALISTS, EC OFFICIALS AND POLLING AGENTS TO RIG THE ELECTION. IF THE OFFICIALS OF EC ARE FAIR, THIS ANOMALY COULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BEFORE PRINTING. IT IS DELIBERATE ATTEMPT BY EC TO HIDE NPP FROM THE LOGO. NPP SHOULD WATCH CAREFULLY THE PRINTING OF BALLOT PAPERS, THE PRINTING OF PINK SHEETS TO PREVENT EC FROM PRINTING DOUBLE BALLOT PAPERS AND DOUBLE PINK SHEETS. EC OFFICIALS CONSCIENCES HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BY NDC
This is legal issue, but the Logo (Elephant) is more recognized so let us move on, even if the personality is removed and replaced with the Elephant it can't prevent anything, educate your people period.
Charlotte has not yet relented in her effort to rig the polls as Citizen Vigilante said. Amadu Suley and herself are all out to please their pay master JM. No matter what they do, it won't wash. Your time is up!
NPP QUASEAFUO PARTY. NPP JIMIFUO KUO
No wonder EC is loosing all the court cases. The staff of EC operate with different logic. Does EC of Ashanti Region mean to say that the representatives of NPP were in the printing house so the error is no error? Who was responsible for the printing? Is is not EC and the printing house. The primary importance of the representatives of the parties is to make sure nobody takes the ballot papers out to fill ballot boxes with them. They are there just to reduce the mistrust for EC to connive with any party for electoral fraud. The error is a mistake which must be admitted and be corrected to remove any impression that it was intentional and part of the strategy of EC to rig the election against the affected party.
What is it to address? Just go and prints new ones and stop this tricky ventures.
Are you serious? Whose responsibility is it? Who prints and do you even know what goes on in the security printing installations?
Is it only the Ashanti Region. Does it mean NPP presented different logos to the EC for all the regions? If it is only in Ashanti region the EC must admit error.
