The Ashanti Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party on Tuesday cast his vote at Kuntase a suburb in Bosomtwe, for the district- level elections. Mr. Antwi Boasiako, alias Chairman �Wontumi� was ushered through the relevant formalities before allowed to cast his vote. After exercising his franchise, Chairman �Wontumi� met some electorates in the area and urged them to vote peacefully. The Ashanti Regional Chairman for the NPP described the District Assembly elections as an important exercise which would bring development to the people at the community level. He however reminded electorates to keep in mind that the current register is bloated and needs to be upgraded. He used the opportunity to blast President Mahama for not selecting Georgina Opoku Amankwa, a native of Bosomtwe as the new Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana. With the exception of the Dichemso Electoral Area in the Ashanti Region, voting for the district- level elections took place today at all centres across the country.
