After waiting for several hours in the morning, the delegates were asked to return home and come the following day, Sunday, October 23, for the exercise.

Voting is, however, ongoing for some constituencies including Assin South, Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam, Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem and Awutu Senya West.
