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.

ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Ashanti-Regional-NPP-chairman-behind-thumb-printed-ballot-papers-Madison-Lodge-alleges-492423 The attention of Madison Lodge has been drawn to images and videos circulating on social media, alleging that thumb printed ballot papers were found in our hotel rooms. We wish to state the following: 1. On Saturday, December 3 at 7:20PM, a gentleman by name Andy Owusu, who is a known face in Kumasi and special Assistant to Chairman Wontumi, booked three rooms, he said was meant for some investors of his business. 2. He dropped 2 Bags and stayed in the room for 2 hours with a fair lady. 3. Chairman Wontumi, on Sunday, led Police men and media to our hotel premises to the very room his assistant booked, only to be told they were thumb printed Ballot. 4. We see this as scandalous and an attempt to destroy our brand as one of the serene hotels in Kumasi. 5. We are therefore willing to cooperate with the Police to find the true intent of Chairman Wontumi and his special Assistant. Thank You. Evans Nuamah, Hotel Manager Madison Hotel
My Dear Kofi Boakye, Until a cedi note is detected and classified as counterfeit it could be use to transact business and serve as a medium of exchange without any rejection. Whether the Ballot paper was fake or not, what was the intent of those paper. This is what you have to investigate and report to the public in order to build confident from the people. Please come back again for a better responds.
People should monitor Kofi Boakye because that guy is a criminal. He himself can hire people to thumb print ballot papers and mix it with the original. He can do anything because I know him to be working with arm robbers and turn around and arrest them to make it look like he is doing a great job. He is a CRIMINAL and things he can do people have no clue. He even kills secretly. WATCH OUT for KOFI BOAKYE in Ashanti Region because he wants to do everything in favour of NDC so he can have his share.
What do you all expect Kofi Boakye to do after receiving a car from Mahama and giving the car to his first daughter to ride around town and not only that has been promised an IGP position if Mahama wins, he will surely do anything. This same Kofi Boakye I have a picture of him entering into Former President Kuffour house in dworwulu when he won election in 2000. He was an interdicted police officer. NPP picked you up and polish you but when Kuffour punish you for getting involved with cocaine business which is his speciality now he is fighting NPP. The Lord is watching stomach police officer
Kofi boakye is too arrogant sometimes...how can he call it just fake making it assume its nothing serious....you wait till we win power,u will be transferred to the HQ with no appointment...weed smoker like you
What do we expect from the Police? To disgrace NDC
But being fake doesn't stop the overall objectives to cheat. It was fake that's why it's not part of the so called officials ones. How can anyone print over 10000 "fake" ballot papers and not have an ulterior motive. After all this, Mahaghana will be looking up in the sky to some "God" for "anointing" him as the chosen one.
This weed-smoking DCOP amazes me. What does he mean by "fake"? What would happen if the fake ballots found their way into the ballot box?
Why is Wontumi hurting the NPP so much? Planting explosives at the deputy regional minister's backyard, the Asuoyeboah guns, the fake ballot papers.
No serial numbers...no thumb print but every story says there are thumbprints. We are so crooked as a people
