Accra, Oct. 27, GNA – The Electoral Commission (EC) says Yasarko Press, one of the printing houses contracted to print ballot papers for the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections, has opted out of the contract.
This is because one of the “critical equipment” for the printing has developed a fault.
The Yasarko Press was assigned to print ballot papers for the Oti and Western North Regions.
This is in a press release from the EC signed by Mr Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairperson of the EC in charge of Operations, and copied to the Ghana News Agency.
The statement said the Commission had acted swiftly by reallocating the Oti and Western North Regions’ ballot papers to Buck Press and Acts Commercials, respectively.
“These two Printing Houses have demonstrable expertise and the Commission is certain that this change will not compromise the calendar for the printing of the ballot papers,” the statement added.
The statement said all political parties and independent candidates contesting the 2024 General Election had been notified of the change.
