The Ashanti Regional Delegates’ Congress of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has started under heavy security presence at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
The congress is to elect the substantive regional executive officers who will lead the party in the Ashanti Region for the next four years.
Over 1,000 security personnel have been deployed in and around the venue to ensure a peaceful and orderly process.
As part of the tight security measures, security check machines are being used to scan delegates and other invited persons, including the media, before they are allowed to enter the stadium.
Meanwhile, at 12:30 p.m., voting is yet to start, with many of the party members not happy at the turn of events.
