In a statement, the EC confirmed that the election materials are currently secured under police custody. The Commission emphasized its policy requiring all election materials to be transported using official vehicles and, when necessary, accompanied by a police escort.
The EC, through Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairman in charge of Operations, disclosed that an internal investigation would be conducted into the protocol breach. Additionally, the EC pledged full cooperation with the police in their ongoing investigations.
