There was confusion at the constituency elections of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the Sagnarigu constituency in the Northern Region following an alleged over voting.
An officer from the Electoral Commission was accused of issuing multiple ballots to some delegates to vote for his preferred aspirants, reports Graphic Online's Mohammed Fugu.
This triggered a protest at the voting centre at the Tamale Technical University campus where the constituency elections was taking place.
Already the elections could not start earlier as scheduled as a result of some unresolved issues. Following the confusion, proceedings ended abruptly in the midst of the pandemonium.
Security personnel who were supervising the elections took away the ballot boxes to prevent further disturbances.
Graphic Online`s reporter, Mohammed Fugu who was at the centre had his mobile phone detained and manhandled by some party foot soldiers for about 20 minutes in a bit to prevent him from capturing the incident.
A joint military and Police team were deployed to ensure calm.

Eeeiiii Ndc everywhere confusion, everywhere incompetency, everywhere over voting and even to yourselves you are not credible and you think Ghanaians are for such cro*ooks to rule them aaah kai ! Over the dead bodies of Ghanaians. Ghanaians are very discerning and smarter than ndc tactics, nothing will change an ndc from lies and cro**ok tactics. Just an election within yourselves too you are not credible, so when will you be truthful to yourselves to spread to the good people of Ghana? Ndc are born kriminals, they are cro**oks and rogues and belong to where discerning Ghanaians sent them and that is opposition! they will rot in opposition. NPP had their elections from polling station executives to constituency to regional from the Western to Central to BA to Ashanti to Eastern to Volta to Greater Accra and to the 3 Northern regions and nobody head fii in fact NPPfuo mo'ani abue papa ! when ndc started with their own internal elections some had to run to the founder to complain of disenfranchise, what sort and kind of party is so disorganized that they don't even know their left from right, beating and slashing themselves just because of party position eeeiii! asem ben koraa ni !hahahahaha! a party that will take long in opposition beating and slashing themselves, with some mps running away. ABA Fuseini who went to New Juaben South to supervise had to run away because some aggrieved members were after his head. Ndc indifferent party, ndc unchangeable they still in their ancient world, even if this massive humiliating defeat couldn't change them to be sober then I don't know when they will be civil.
