A voter in the Banda constituency in the Bono Region has been excused from voting.

This is because the voter’s temperature exceeded the average 37 degree Celsius to 47 when his temperature was taken by the presiding officer at the Esruba Fawoman polling centre and has been excused from voting for a while.

His body temperature is currently being monitored and he remains hopeful of casting his ballot.

“When my temperature was taken and was told to hold on for a while, I was disappointed,” the voter said.

“I really don’t know what’s wrong with me that made my body temperature went up that high. I’m praying that all will be well then I vote. I will wait till 5 pm.

Ahead of today’s election, Chairperson for the Electoral Commission Jean Mensa maintained that all Covid-19 protocols will be observed during polls.
