Voters rush to hometowns to vote

With the historic presidential and parliamentary elections underway, hundreds of residents in the Sunyani Municipality are rushing to their hometowns to cast their vote.

The situation has created a boom for operators in the transport business as depicted by the chaotic scenes at the various lorry stations.

Officials of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) told the Ghana News Agency that the rate of vehicular movement from Sunyani to various destinations in the Brong Ahafo Region and elsewhere had increased tremendously as a result of the rush.
