Queues start forming at polling stations

Early Voters had started forming queues at some polling stations by 0345 hours on Sunday when GNA visited.
     At the Christ The King Polling Station of the Lakoo Electoral Area of Dade Kotopon Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, a first-time voter, Mr Isaac Tegbey was waiting behind the closed gate, when GNA visited at 0345.
      Mr Tegbey said he wanted to vote early so that he could go back home to watch television and to avoid entering into arguments.
      Mrs Gifty Afrifah, 37, Hairdresser, who arrived at 0350 hours, said she wanted to vote early so that she could go and open her salon. 
      At the Salem Secondary School Polling Station of the Ringway Electoral Area of Korle-Clottey Constituency, Abdulai Atanga, 27, a Driver of Accra Psychiatric Hospital, said he had been waiting at the gate since 0330 hours when the GNA visited at 0357 hours.
      He said he wanted to be the first voter at his polling station. Mr Kwabla Adjei, 21, Building Construction Electrician, and Mr Kwasi Tekpe, 21, Air Conditioner Mechanic, said they wanted to vote early so that they could go and attend to other businesses.
      At the Salem One and Salem Three Basic Schools Polling Centres, when the GNA visited at 0410, Mr Theophilus Saka Allotey, 41, Security Officer, said he got to the polling station early to ensure that he was the first voter, while Mrs Emelia Botchway said she was early because she wanted to avoid the crowd that would come later.
      Meanwhile the People's National Convention, Member of Parliament-Elect for Builsa South Constituency, Mr Alhassan Zong has joined the National Democratic Congress Campaign Team while Mr Bernard Morna, General Secretary of the Party, has called on all supporters of the party to vote for Professor John Evans Atta Mills, Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Presidential Election Runoff.
