Kwashieman Cluster of Schools containing disputed Ablekuma North ballot papers burns

A fire outbreak at the Kwashieman Cluster of Schools, where the disputed Ablekuma North ballot papers are stored has raised concerns amongst Ghanaians

The incident, which occurred late Monday, drew swift attention from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), who successfully extinguished the flames before the fire could spread further.

However, despite their efforts, some damage was caused to the facility and its contents.

Details surrounding the exact cause of the fire remain unclear, but the presence of disputed ballot papers at the site has sparked speculation and concern among the public and political figures.

Electoral officers and security personnel are expected to conduct investigations to ascertain whether the fire was accidental or deliberate.

The Kwashieman Cluster of Schools, which served as a storage location for the sensitive electoral materials, is now the focus of attention, with fears that any damage to the ballot papers could compromise the ongoing electoral processes in the Ablekuma North constituency.
