The newly-elected National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has revealed plans by his party to set up a “Ballots Protection Unit” for the protection of the party’s ballots during election 2020.
Speaking exclusively in Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen interview, Mr Ampofo said the NDC was doing so to prevent cheating by others.
