Political parties want to hire agents to man each polling station in the General Elections. Since some polling stations have up to five streams, it means Jubilee’s planned number of agents may match NASA’s. As part of its five-agent team NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga Saturday said it would include a chairman, secretary, treasurer, and youth and women representatives. In Ghana NPP paid each of their 29,000 agents spread in all polling stations 150 Cedis (Sh3,450) which cumulatively adds to Sh104 million. NASA has been urging its supporters to stick around the polling stations after casting their ballots to guard the vote.
