An old lady who is believed to be in her 80’s has teared out her favorite presidential candidate on the ballot sheet.

She explained that the torn person was the candidate she has decided to vote.

According to our reporter at the Chapel Square Water polling station in the Central Region, the old lady rejected any assistance from election officers at post.

“She didn’t vote again when asked by the officers to come for another ballot paper. She left the polling station without voting,” our reporter said.

Seven candidates are contesting to become president of Ghana in the next four years – they are  President John Mahama of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), who is seeking re-election for a second and final four-year term and Nana Akufo-Addo, flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The rest are former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Ivor Greenstreet of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Edward Mahama of the People’s National Convention (PNC), and independent candidate Jacob Osei Yeboah
