Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensah says the positions of presidential candidates on the December 7, 2024 ballot papers will remain the same.
According to her, the presidential ballot will be maintained as the ballot papers are almost 90 percent complete in printing.
“You are also aware following the passing of Madam Akua Donkor we requested the printing houses to cease printing until they law had taken its course. Now that the presidential candidate or the nominee has been disqualified, the commission will like to inform you that the printing will proceed on the current ballot as it in the interest of time and to save this country millions of cedis.
So, our tasks here this morning is simple. We are not here to change positions. We are not here to re-ballot. We are simply here to inform you the commission intends to notify our printing houses to proceed with the printing of the presidential ballots as is. And should proceed with the picture, symbol of Akua Donkor.
