Mr Stephen Oppong, the Returning Officer of the Electoral Commission for the Sege constituency, has disclosed persons who were absent for the special voting will not be able to vote on December 7.
Mr Oppong explained that the names of those who applied for the special voting would be absent from the general voters’ register to be used for the December 7 elections.
He said this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency after 254 out of the 286 special voters turned up for the Monday, December 2, exercise.
The special voting, which took place at the Sege District Police Quarters, started at 0700hours and ended at exactly 1700 hours.
Party agents, security, and external observers were at the scene during the election.
All three parliamentary candidates in the constituency, in an interview with the GNA, expressed optimism in the results of the general elections.
Mr Dodzie Numekevor, candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), said the good policies of the government and his good campaign strategies would give him victory over the other candidates.
Mr Daniel Keshi Bessey, the National Democratic Congress’ parliamentary candidate, believed that as Sege was known for being the stronghold of the NDC, and with his good intentions for the constituents, he would be pronounced victorious, stating further that his contenders would even vote for him.
Madam Eunice Lasi, Independent Candidate, disclosed that her youth-driven policies would place her as the first choice for the electorates, noting that she has not followed the trends of insults and blames but rather embarked on a policy-based campaign, which she was confident has gone down well with the people.
