The Electoral Commission (EC) has suspended the voter transfer exercise at Kukuom in the Brong Ahafo region.
This follows violent clashes between some supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after the office of the NPP in the area was invaded by men believed to be supporters of the governing NDC.
The clashes led to an official sustaining cutlass wounds.
The Asunafo South EC office was also ransacked by the unidentified men.
According to the Brong Ahafo regional Director of the Electoral Commission, George Gyabaah, some electoral logistics were destroyed in the process.
“The office itself is not closed down, its just the transfer process whose machines has been destroyed. So the process is not going on,” he told Citi News.
George Gyabaah said the exercise has been suspended until they receive another machine.
Meanwhile, the Kukuom Divisional Police Command in the Brong Ahafo region has held an emergency District Security Committee (DISEC) meeting to discuss the way forward.
