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.

NDC machinery at its best is working
Kofi boakye i understand you, Mahama made you COP so fight for him.When they insult him arrest them all. Dont investigate the ballot paper and call it fake wae
we must be frank in dealing with issues of this nature this npp guy knows very well that kumasi is their strong hold. and that there is no way he can forge this story to scare voters. akans will say no one cause fight whiles he is in his father's house. kofi boakye should investigate this matter seriously
The comment from the police is unfortunate We all do not expect original ballot from no one else than the EC so definitely non EC bodies will carry fake ones and if they get into the ballot box , they will be counted
Am highly disappointed with Kofi Boakye,the comment he made after reporting the ballots are fake is disappointing,ballot without serial numbers were sent to polling station,think Wontumi did the right thing.
Granted that its fake, wuld it hv bn regeted in the heat of events if these papers found their way into a ballot box. So shuld we reget the ballot papers that were used in the special voting that had no serial numbers
how do you detect fake paper from original one. asem beba dabi
Wontumi after reporting this NPP MUST burn all these BALLOT papers because we don't trust Ghana police neither
if care is not taken this wontumi guy will cause problem in this country oooo. hmmmm.
Oohh, WE ARE SEEIN CHAIRMAN WONTUMI IN THE VIDEO. YOU PRINT FAKE BALLOT PAPERS URSELF, THUMB PRINT THEM BY YOURSELF AND TAKE IT TO THE HOTEL ROOM AND YOU INFORM THE POLICE , TO CREATE THE IMPRESSION THAT NDC IS STEALING THE ELECTION IN KUMASI, THOSE PAPERS ARE NOT ELECTORAL COMMISSION PAPERS....EEEIIHH POLITICS............Who is been Arrested here? Listen carefully to the narration in the video. They have shot themselves in the foot... Chairman "Woman Beans" Wontomi is the arrested culprit
