With 24 hours to the elections, many travelers are making their way to their constituencies to cast their ballots.Coupled with the holiday, this has led to overcrowded bus terminals nationwide.
However, the situation has been worse in some terminals.In the Western Region, the Takoradi GPRTU Station has witnessed angry travelers venting their frustration over what they perceive as unfair treatment.Some travelers, who arrived at the station as early as 5 a.m., are yet to board a bus.
JoyNews correspondent Portia Cudjoe reported that most of the buses at the station had been hired by Members of Parliament and political actors to transport their supporters to various destinations for the elections.This development resulted in a frantic rush for the few remaining vehicles, causing chaos and tension among stranded passengers.This situation mirrors events observed in Tamale earlier this morning.
In Accra, terminals at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle are busy with activity. Travellers eager to cast their votes are navigating packed queues and tight schedules to reach their hometowns.
One voter shared that he is travelling back to Kumasi specifically to vote, explaining that this is the main reason for his visit to the Circle bus station.Another voter mentioned that he typically only travels home at Christmas, but due to the upcoming elections, he had to return to his hometown to cast his vote.
