Tension is brewing in the Jaman North constituency in the Brong Ahafo Region over the delay in commencement of voting.
Voting which was expected to begin at 7:00am is yet to start in all the polling stations in the constituency raising fears among some voters.

He added that several efforts to have the situation resolved proved futile hence the crunch meeting.
Odiakopa further reported that scores of voters are currently in queues awaiting the outcome the crunch meeting.
