He said: " While the video would be investigated to know if it is an old, recycled one or not, it should be noted that this is criminal and totally against the Electoral Act 2022. Violators would be prosecuted".
Furthermore, in some polling units, there had been cases of snatching of ballot boxes, burning of ballots paper amongst other form of violence which had resulted in disruption of electoral exercise in the affected units.
