The balloting process at the Electoral Commission (EC) for the presidential candidates experienced some chaos.
This occurred after the commission conducted the first part of the process, which was to determine the sequence in which the actual balloting would proceed.
One by one, representatives selected their slots on Friday afternoon.
Following this, Dr. Omane Boamah, Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), raised concerns that one of the balls had a unique feature that could compromise the integrity of the process.
But NPP's National Director of Research and Elections, Evans Nimako would have none of that.
After over 30 minutes of argument, the commission agreed to replace the affected ball, and the process was set to be re-run from scratch.
The Commission is currently trying to reason with the stakeholders in the room to agree to a way forward as the night gradually falls.
The NPP picked the number one position on the ballot paper ahead of the upcoming December 7 polls.
The NDC will occupy the number 8 spot.
