Speaker of Parliament casts vote, describes process as ‘civilised’

Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, has cast his ballot in the ongoing elections.

He voted at 11:05 am at the Calvary Presby polling centre in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency where an estimated 2,794 registered voters are also expected to vote.

In a press address post-voting, the Speaker of Parliament expressed satisfaction about the serenity of the voting process thus far.

“This is how civilised people do their things. It tells you the level of development here in Ghana. I would like us to stop worrying about pessimist things and look at the good sides. We are making progress.

“When we go like this, very soon America, the West, and others would come and become election observers here because we are doing it right. I am very happy,” he said.

At the time when Prof. Oquaye engaged in the national exercise, a reported 821 eligible voters had cast their votes.

A total of 173,619 registered voters are expected to vote in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency.
