The Ashanti Regional Police has stated that the ballot papers intercepted in the Ashanti Region are fake.
A team of police personnel and some executives of the NPP led by the Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi intercepted four bags of alleged thumbprinted ballot papers in a hotel at a place called TUC; Kumasi.
The said thumb-printed ballots are currently in the custody of the Central Police Command.
Ashanti Regional Police Commander, Kofi Boakye in an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi, Monday indicated that officials from the Electoral Commission have inspected the ballot papers and clarified that they are fake.
"There are no serial numbers and no thumbprint" he said.
The police are currently carrying out an investigation to ascertain how the bags of ballot papers got to the hotel room and who was incharge.

WHAT IS HAPPENING BEFORE THE ELECTIONS IS VERY WORRYING. THOUGH EC CLAIMS THE BALLOT PAPERS ARE FAKE IT IS A DANGEROUS DEVELOPMENT. IF THEY FIND THEIR WAY INTO THE BALLOT BOXES THEY WILL CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEMS. 1. THEY MAY BE UNDETECTED DURING COUNTING AFFECT THE ACCOUNTING OF THE BALLOTS CAST AT THE POLLING STATION. 2. THEY MAY ALSO INFLATE THE RESULT OF THE CANDIDATE FOR WHOM THEY WERE CAST. 3.THE PERPETRATORS OF THE CRIME MAY PRETEND TO BE DECENT PARTY SUPPORTERS AND INSIST OF THEM AS BEING GOOD VOTES. THEY MAY EVEN BLAME EC OFFICIALS FOR PROVIDING FAKE PAPERS OR FAILING TO STAMP THE BALLOTS AS IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS. THEY MAY USE THE CONFUSION TO DEMAND THAT THE RESULT OF A POLLING STATION IS UNACCEPTABLE. SO FAKE BALLOT PAPERS FOUND IN BALLOT BOXES CAN CREATE TENSION AND GENERATE CHAOS FOR THE ELECTIONS. EVERYBODY MUST BE VIGILANT FOR THE ELECTIONS. BOXES MUST BE PLACED AT POSITIONS WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE FROM A REASONABLE DISTANCE WHAT A VOTER IS DOING AT THE BOX. THE POLICE MUST INVESTIGATE ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS AND THE CULPRITS MUST BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY WHETHER IT IS BEFORE OR AFTER THE ELECTIONS. IT LOOKS LIKE CRIMES AT ELECTIONS DIE WITH DECLARATION OF RESULTS. IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN THAT WAY SO THAT WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD AND NOT OTHER WAY.POP
IT HAS JUST BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT ITS WONTUMIS AID,E ANDY WHO BOOKED THE HOTEL FOR THE PEOPLE TO KEEP IN THE ROOM THE FAKE BALLOT PAPERS. THE RECEPTIONIST HAS JUST BEEN PICKED UP AND SHE IS REVEALING ALL THE FILLA. LETS WAIT AND SEE
KOFI BOAKYE WHAT DO YOU TAKE US FOR? WERE YOU EXPECTING THEM TO PRINT ORIGINAL. IF YOU ARREST ANYONE WITH FAKE CEDIS YOU WILL LET GO OF THEM AND SAY THEY ARE FAKE?
I pity IGP KUDALOR because he is labouring in vain. If he does not know his position has been given to KOFI BOAKYE if the NDC wins
Eii Kofi Boakye is it because you have been promised to be made an IGP that is why you want to steal for Mahama.
Yes, the fake ballots is what they use to stock the original ballots. This is what makes it more scary. God has rejected Mahama. Change will come
Were you expecting them to be original?
one million votes in making, SIAAAAAAAAA.
