As of 4:00pm 3news.com’s correspondent Komla Klutse reports that only 11 people had voted out of the about 709 registered voters. The proposed Oti region would have 9 districts, 815 polling stations. The Oti region can only be created if 80% of the at least 182,686 voter turnout vote YES, thus 146,148 YES votes. Elders at Akpafu, a mostly farming community, however, told 3news.com they are not against the creation of the Oti region. Rather, they said they are not in favour of being considered under the region as they prefer to be under the Hohoe municipality which is in the Volta region.
