• Netizens who saw the video expressed different sentiments regarding the issue, which quickly became a matter of national interest

The Tema East constituency witnessed chaotic scenes during the 2024 elections, as members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) alleged that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had installed surveillance cameras at several polling stations.

According to a ChannelOne TV report, the NPP representatives claimed the NDC party agents set up cameras at polling stations in the Tema East constituency at midnight to monitor voters.

This triggered tension between the two major political parties, threatening to disrupt the electoral process in the area.

The NPP resisted the NDC's alleged move, insisting that it was a clear violation of the electoral rules and an affront to the secrecy of the ballot.
