He then bolted towards the exit points of the chamber being pursued by some members of the NDC.
“Just as my colleague from the other side took the ballot box away on 3 occasions, I also grabbed a few ballot papers before they could be counted so as to force a rerun”, he said.
Mr. Ahenkorah has however apologized for his act and even though most social media users find the incident hilarious, I think it was an embarrassing situation and also a dent on the image of the Ghanaian parliament.
