Flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has urged Ghanaians to exercise their civic responsibility of casting their ballot in today’s district-level elections.

The former President who in a post on social media said he would be voting in his electoral area at Bole encouraged Ghanaians to vote because “your vote in the district level elections matters. Let’s work together to shape the future of our communities.”

 

Over 66,000 individuals are competing for assembly and unit committee positions in the local polls which is taking place today, Tuesday, December 19, 2023.

The Electoral Commission’s statistics indicate 18,755 assembly member candidates and 47,502 unit committee member candidates, totalling 66,257 candidates.

The electoral battleground spans 6,215 electoral areas across 216 Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs).

The Director of Electoral Services at the EC, Dr. Sereboe Quarcoo, has said preparations are well advanced to ensure a successful organisation of the polls.

He assured that adequate preparations have been made to ensure there is no shortage of electoral materials at any polling station today.

“With the exception of ballot papers, all the materials are there, and when we are going, we don’t go with partial delivery; we go with full delivery, so we are not expecting to have shortages. All things being equal, in case there are shortages, the district office will respond to such shortages,” he indicated.
