Afari Robinson, a visually impaired retired Mathematics teacher in New Juaben South, cast his vote at the Sempoamiensa polling station in the ongoing elections.
Accompanied by his wife, he ensured he exercised his civic right, demonstrating determination to participate in the democratic process.
He urged all visually impaired persons to come out to vote stating that the process is smooth, seamless and fast.
Despite early morning activity, voter turnout remained low across several polling stations in the constituency.
At Sempoamiensa Junction Polling Station, only 76 out of 617 registered voters had cast their ballots by 9:00 AM.
At Koforidua Poly 2B Polling Station, 39 out of 429 voters had voted by 9:30 AM.
At Koforidua Poly 3A Polling Station, 34 out of 439 registered voters had cast their ballots as of 9:37 AM.
Engineer Seth Danso Atuah, a senior staff member at Koforidua Technical University, explained the low turnout as a result of voters pacing their arrival to avoid long queues or waiting for better weather conditions.
Election officials and observers remain hopeful for increased participation as the day progresses to ensure a successful and inclusive election process.
