A video of boxes said to contain ballot papers have emerged on online and is making rounds on social media. The video is followed with narratives suggesting that the boxes were en route to Hohoe constituency but have been impounded by some citizens.

Claim: Vehicle en route Hohoe Constituency allegedly impounded with fake ballot papers.

Verdict: Misleading.

Explanation: Sources from the Ghana Police confirmed that the vehicle in question was transporting electoral commission (EC) officials. They clarified that the materials were not ballot papers but directional materials, including unactivated biometric voter devices (BVDs).

The EC in a statement has indicated that the officials should have ideally transported the items in official vehicles. The EC says it is investigating the matter.
