Ghana Imposes Partial Suspension of Voting

Voting has been suspended in Ghana's general elections in areas where biometric registration equipment have broken down after several voters were caught in long queues even after the official closure of voting at 5pm on Friday.

The process will resume on Saturday, according to a statement by the Electoral Commission. In polling stations where the equipment are working, voters who were in queues as at 5pm are to complete the process.
