A court in Cape Coast has given two people two years in prison each. They were found guilty of electoral fraud. The crime happened during voter registration.
A judicial service spokesperson confirmed the court handed down the sentences today.
The court heard that the two individuals tried to register unlawfully. This act is against Ghana's electoral laws.
The sentences aim to deter others from similar offenses. Electoral fraud can undermine public trust in elections.
Ghana's laws are clear on protecting the integrity of the voter registration process. This case shows that such crimes will lead to punishment.
The names of the convicted individuals were not immediately released to the public. Further details may emerge from court documents.
