A New Patriotic Party delegate in the Ayawaso Central Constituency has been arrested by the police for taking a photograph of his ballot sheet after voting.

The security personnel who noticed the illegality quickly approached the delegate for questioning and subsequently whisked him away to the police station for further action.

A field of 321 hopefuls is vying for the NPP nominations in the parliamentary elections, and among them, 33 candidates are running uncontested.
