This
trend of affair made the elections to be postponed for a week but that also
could not come off on the scheduled day as the Brong Ahafo Regional Minister in
a speech on that day called for the postponement of the elections due to some
security threat and was reschedule for the next day after three government
appointees have been sworn in to replace some other three who were withdrawned.
The next
day saw another election to be conducted by the electoral commission and the
Presiding member of the assembly Hon. John Dadzi in a speech called on the
members to put partisan politics aside of the elections and think of the
general development of the District after which the Regional representative of
the Electoral commission also spelt out the modalities of the elections.
