The Electoral Commission (EC) has confirmed figures of registrants submitted to its headquarters from two districts in the Ashanti Region were over-computed.

Regional Director, Benjamin Bannor Bio, who revealed this, explained that the anomaly was detected in returns for the first six days for Sekyere South and Offinso North.

He attributed the problem to failure of electoral officers to  file  daily reports but  rather submitted accumulated figures.

The explanation is in response accusation by the NDC the EC is padding figures in favour of the governing NPP.

Mr. Bannor Bio says the situation has already been ratified together with political parties agents at the various centers.
