Against all rules of secret voting, the national chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr Paul Afoko surprised both officers of the Electoral Commission and reporters at the College of Engineering auditorium of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology when after marking the ballot, he called his aide to witness the person he voted for before proceeding to deposit his vote.
The aide, identified only as Mallam, in turn said his boss voted for Mr Joe Ghartey in what was a 'secret voting' exercise.
Mr Bernard Antwi Boasiako, the regional chairman, had earlier displayed his ballot paper before sliding it in into the ballot box.
Not surprisingly, Mr Afoko, who came to the venue in the company of Mr Kwabena Agyei Agyapong, the General Secretary, was booed at on their way to join their vehicle to move away from the venue.
