The Council of State election in the Ashanti region was disrupted by chaos after some heavily built men stormed the polling station where voting had been taking place peacefully.
JoyNews understands that the heavily built men disrupted the process, destroying Electoral Commission (EC) materials and physically assaulting journalists.
As a result, the election process has been halted, with security in the region yet to restore calm.
A similar incident occurred during the Greater Accra region’s election, where the police intervened swiftly to restore order.
