They were directed to present the items by the close of Friday, June 14, 2024, for rituals to reverse the curse.
The NDC has also been instructed to go to the Antoa and Assin Nyankomasi communities to perform the necessary rituals to reverse the curses because they mentioned the names "Antoa" and the stool of Assin Nyankomasi when the curses were invoked.
The vote transfer process has been marred with partisanship and some violence.
The Electoral Commission temporarily barred political party agents from observing the vote transfer exercise.
The commission's directive came after four people were injured during a clash at the Kasoa Electoral Commission office.
The NDC had criticised the move and expressed fears that this would lead to gerrymandering.
