2006 District Assembly Elections - Ghana
Low turnout at polls: source - Daily Graphic - 27th September 2006
The 2006 District Assembly elections were held yesterday throughout the country of Ghana.
This is currently held every 4 years and gives the electorate the opportunity to elect new or hard working and progressive assembly leaders.
Voting however saw a poor turnout and it is alledged this is due to inadequate public education and the inability of assembly members to deliver on their campaign promises.
In Accra, voter turnout was far lower than the 2004 presidential and parliamentary polls. It has been noted there were delays in the distribution of some of the ballot papers and boxes due to the lateness of some of the ballot staff at the stations.
Polling officials dozed off as voting was reduced to a dull and grey experience.
Prez Kuffuor cast his vote at Dzorwulu electoral area and asked Ghanaians not to underrate the district level elections since they constituted a vital link in Ghana's democratic structure.
This unfortunately fell on deaf ears. Polls were counted and results have been ascertained.
Look out for the winners in the next few publications.
Perhaps, the ordinary man wants a little more than empty promises!!
