The Electoral Commission (EC) has said the biometric verification machines used in the just-ended general election are intact and have not been tampered with.

It said the electronic devices still had the records of the number of people who voted at each polling station.

Reacting to claims by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that the EC had instructed its officials to set the machines to zero to destroy evidence which could aid the party to challenge the results of the elections at the Supreme Court, the Public Relations Officer of the commission, Mr Christian Owusu-Parry, said the machines had not been reset.
