He, however, noted he was compelled to intervene to calm tensions at, Abuesi, a town in the constituency.<\/p>\n
Mr. Essilfle recounted that some persons were being rowdy at a polling station in the town and when he then notified the District Chief Executive (DCE) and the District task force\u00a0who calmed the tension.<\/p>\n

Aside the tensions in Abuesi, Mr. Essilfle said in\u00a0\u201call the polling stations that I visited, the numbers that turned up so far are quite encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is under control; I have run a good campaign. I am very confident that the people of the Shama constituency will renew my mandate and that I am going to renew my mandate with a much higher gap than in the past,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
