The National Democratic Congress polling station agents were among the people who witnessed the burning of the Electoral Commission’s excess ballot papers discovered in one of the printing houses in Accra.

The burning was done under the supervision of a Policeman and an official of the National Intelligence Bureau without representatives from the other political parties and the Electoral Commission.
