Supporters of the competing candidates refused to allow this to happen as the rules, according to them, stated that there would be no proxy votes in the election. A delegate who spoke to GhanaWeb on the basis of anonymity alleged that the people who attempted to cast the proxy votes were supporters of the incumbent MP, Habib Saad. The security personnel on the ground were, however, able to bring the situation under control by sending away the people who attempted to cast the proxy votes. 530 are expected to cast their votes by close of polls in 6 electoral areas in the constituency.
