The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is being firm with its directive on entering the voting booths with mobile phones during the presidential primary election today.
At the Ablekuma West voting centre, delegates who were seen with their mobiles in the voting queue were made to switch them off before they were allowed to vote.
According to a Citinewsroom report, a similar situation occurred at Sagnarigu in the Northern region, where some delegates were told to switch off their phones.
The presiding officer at Okaikwei Central for the Okaikwei North Municipality, Yunus Salifu Rashid, also cautioned delegates to desist from entering voting centres with their mobile phones.
He emphasized that the move was to ensure that delegates maintain the integrity of the EC and the secrecy of ballots.
“We have mounted four voting screens, and delegates can vote at any of them. However, we’re warning them not to enter the perimeter with their phones to prevent them from taking shots of votes”. He said.
