The unruly behaviour of some electorate in the Angu Electoral Area in the Mpohor Wassa East District prevented the Electoral Commission (EC) from announcing results of the District Level Election. Mr Yaw Amoah Gyasi, District Electoral Officer told the Ghana News Agency at Daboase in the Western Region that said some supporters of contestants of the elections threatened to beat up officials of the EC, compelling personnel of the Ghana Police Service to fire warning shorts to disperse them before securing the polling materials. The District Level and Unit Committee elections however took place on July 2 as scheduled in the eight electoral areas of Aboaboso, Angu, Atwerebonda, Ankobea, Ohiowoanwu, Dominase, Ayiem and Benso Oil Palm Plantation.
