Video: Chaos, confusion at Ashanti Region Council of State polls, EC suspends sorting

The Council of State elections in the Ashanti Region descended into chaos as a group of unidentified thugs stormed the election center, disrupting the sorting and counting of ballots.

Eyewitnesses reported that the assailants forcefully entered the venue, overturning tables, destroying ballot boxes, and scattering voting materials, compelling Electoral Commission (EC) officials to suspend the process.

Supporters, reportedly aggrieved by the outcome, allegedly instigated the violence, demanding a review of the results.

Additional law enforcement officers have since been deployed to restore order and safeguard electoral materials.
