Tensions have reached a boiling point at the Takoradi Library Collation Center, where chaotic scenes have unfolded as individuals clashed over the handling of ballot boxes.
The violence erupted outside the center this evening as onlookers intercepted two ballot boxes that had just been delivered by a pickup truck.
Eyewitnesses report that the individuals seized the ballot boxes, refusing to allow them into the collation center.
The situation quickly escalated into a physical altercation, with multiple people reportedly involved in heated fights.
“The chaos outside is serious. People are fighting out here,” a witness at the scene described.
The reasons behind the seizure of the boxes remain unclear, with speculation rife among observers about the legitimacy of the boxes and their contents.
The latest incident only adds to the already charged atmosphere surrounding the ongoing electoral process.
This incident follows earlier reports of electoral disturbances and isolated cases of violence in other parts of the country, including ballot box destruction and allegations of vote manipulation.
