The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana says widespread media report of attempted ballot box snatching in South Suntreso in the Nhyiaso constituency is a hoax and wants the public to treat such with the contempt that it deserves.
A report about the alleged act had gone viral on social media and across some electronic media outlets in the country claiming that two people had snatched a ballot box at a polling station in South Suntreso in the Nhyiaso constituency.
But the electoral management body in tweet said the report is false as their checks have proven so.
