Tempers flare at Bukom in the Odododiodio Constituency as angry voters protest against what they describe as discriminatory acts being exhibited by polling officials at the Bukom center.

According to eyewitnesses at the center, the confusion began when an old lady who sought for aid with the thumb printing process was allegedly shown the NDC slot on the ballot paper to vote, an act they describe as exploitation to their advantage.

They added that failure to deal with the situation by officials will attract confusion as they will stop at nothing till justice is attained.

As Ghana votes today to elect a leader, though the process at most polling stations has been peaceful, a few others are experiencing some major challenges.
