Voting has commenced peacefully in the Ho West District of the Volta Region, where voters have queued at various polling stations to cast their ballot.<\/p>\n
This year, a total of 1,023,147 people are expected to cast their votes in the Volta Region as the nation is set to elect a new President and Members of Parliament.<\/p>\n
In the Ho West Constituency, a total of 54,453 people are expected to vote across 146 polling stations in the constituency.<\/p>\n
Queues started forming as early as 6 am at some of the polling stations as the residents took a step to partake in the process of electing a new President and a Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n
Some of the polling stations visited saw scores of people voting, while others waited for the turn.<\/p>\n
One thing that cuts across the polling stations visited is that the verification machines are working, with no need for a manual verification so far.<\/p>\n
Some of the Presiding Officers who spoke to us indicated that the process has been running as expected, with no incidents recorded.<\/p>\n
Paul Mawuenyegah, a presiding officer at the Dzolokpuita E.P Primary B polling station told Daily Guide Online that the process has been smooth so far.<\/p>\n
Ho West is one of the 18 constituencies in the Volta region and it shares a common boundary with the Ho Municipality to the South.<\/p>\n
It is one of the Constituencies in the Volta Region which shares a border with Togo and has fertile lands suitable for the cultivation of food crops like roots and tubers, cereals such as rice and maize, as well vegetables and legumes.<\/p>\n
The Constituency is currently represented by Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah of the NDC who has been re-elected since his first election in the 2008 Parliamentary election.<\/p>\n
In the 2020 Presidential election, President Akufo-Addo, the then candidate of the NPP won a total of 5,468 votes in the constituency while former President John Mahama won 33,261 votes.<\/p>\n
But the NPP is hopeful of doing better in the constituency with party executives in the arear hopeful they could double that figure.<\/p>\n
Mr. Bedzrah won the 2020 election with 28,583, votes, while the NPP\u2019s then-candidate, David Togbe Nfodjo got 10,096, the highest any party other than the NDC has ever gotten in the Constituency.<\/p>\n
But the current Candidate, Eric Nick Gonyuie is confident he could better those figures and is tipping himself to the win the race.<\/p>\n
