So we'll continue to run those live pictures of developments here and again if we can find out what is happening. we will bring to you. at the moment on High Street, there is ban load of police officers it seems like right police that have now arrived on the scene on Hatfield Street. They have arrived on that field Street. They're not pulling in the corner. we can go along to see just what is happening. So we're trying to find out what is happening here.

That is a level Street so from that area, it has not been carded off all the way to Hatfield Street, where the G Command Center is at the moment so the police on the ground here more of them arriving as investigations continue into what exactly transpired in a room in this building, we're verification of statements of polls for region number four. Was taken place, so we can head back now to the G Command Center where all of these developments are unfolding. So we are heading back to the G Command Center for these very dramatic developments this Thursday morning. Three days after I went to the polls in general and regional elections. The results for region number four, the only outstanding region to bring results for these elections and determined the very clear winner of these elections. But again, the chief elections officer with the party of policemen went into this building about 1520 minutes at they're about and they're still in there. We're not sure the nature of the investigation of this point if the investigation has moved beyond the young man that it is alleged left the room with a laptop and a flash drive containing statement supports which are being very fight for region number four. He was there for a very short time when the verification process resumed said he was feeling tired and needed to go home, but he was seen in a room on the laptop working again. We're not sure exactly what he was doing on it, but the police have been called in. We're not sure who called in the police. No one seems to know who called in the police, but they're here and more are arriving on the scene. The area between At Field Street Level Street has effectively now become a police operational. Area and so access on that Street restricted at this point in time, so we'll continue to broadcast here from high in Hatfield streets as these developments unfold. The political party leaders and foreign and international foreign and local and foreign observers are I don't even know what I'm saying this in the morning so the local and international observers and political party leaders just all went into the room where they were doing the verification process earlier when the confusion started when one of the workers set, I got up and left the room saying that he was start he left the room with. A laptop and a flash drive the police were called in he was questioned. Some of those who were in the room were questioned in a separate room now because remember he loved the rumors. Verification was taken place and he went into another room and he said he was feeling tired of wanting to go on, but he was seen in that other room are still on the laptop. Now political party leaders became very suspicious about the observers. And so the police work all then he was interviewed in that room along with some of those who witnessed what had happened so they have no re entered the room. where the verification process was a chicken place and they're continuing to watch to see what is happening. You can see the police officers well at least one police of. I'm standing outside the police officers are you may be seen immediately in front of our police officers that that have been stationed here, but I'm not sure if you're able to see insight. But there is a senior police officer standing at the door as all the leaders and observers reentered the original room where verification was taken place for the statement support for Region number four. we will go back to those live pictures and update you as we get information we're seeing the police divisional commanders who will try to see if we can talk to him. Commander. Can you give us an update of what is happening at the moment? No they're trying to the death was is that they would decide if they need a place to do an investigation. That's the divisional commander there so. It seems that what is happening is that they have reentered a rumor. The verification was taken place there. There was a screen and the pictures of the statements of pools are being put up on the screen and the political party leaders along with local and international observers where I'm going to cross check that with the statements of pulled that they had to make sure that the information came out and signed off on corresponds to the information that they have so. It seems that they have reentered bathroom to check to see if the data was tampered with or not, and then they will decide whether for the action is needed. That is what the police commander just told us. so observers continue to arrive in the room. They're observers from the Carter Center. the observers there from the Commonwealth arriving. I'm sure it's about 40 'clock in the morning but they. Been here all night as well, observing this process their observers from the Carter Center in the room from the OS. we just saw the Commonwealth observers walk in they have been. They have been monitoring what has been happening here of course, I have a police presence outside the G Command Center and we will continue to give you those live pictures and we'll update you. And it seems development events are happening all the time and so it's a bit tricky at the moment, but we will continue to follow those developments and update you as we get more information. If you can come in and give you an update, it seems that the police are now leading the place the office of the returning officer for Region four of the Gana Elections Commission, the officers who were called to the station, A lot of them are leaving. We are not sure if they are discontinuing. Their operations here the police commander for this region just in the foreground there. So we are continuing to see why it's happening here. If we get a chance we will talk with the divisional Commander mister Edgar Thomas. So the remaining police officers are leaving the office of the returning officer for Region Forbes. you can see them they're leaving they were calling called in after staff left the room where verification was taken place and he was tired and wanted to go home but instead he was noticed in an adjacent room with the laptop and flash drive of the statement supports, which were. Being verified so. As we are mentioned in the police, officers seemed to be leaving this building. we're not entirely sure what is happening at the moment. Mister Edgar Thomas, the Divisional commander, is seen in the picture there I given instructions to the ranks. The divisional Commodity are talking with PBS candidate mister Anna Persaud and another gentleman. they approached the police commander as he was having a conversation with police officers who were called to this area. so if we can walk up a bit and try to figure out what exactly is. It's happening if the police are being recalled to the office of the returning officer. So the senior police officers pair in discussions you can notice the other policeman standing there. We're not sure if they will go back in or they have been called out and then they will leave this area. So we're trying to talk with the divisional Commander Mister Edgar Thomas to find out what is going on to see if. They're continuing their investigations here or they are abandoning that mission. Mister Keith Linfield, the chief elections officer remains in the building we were looking at. Someone's video of insight the room where the verification process was taken place. He is in that building as they try to sort out the data from the flash drive that was being shown. On the projector screen as the political party leaders and agents tried to verify the statements of balls for region number four. So again, what you are looking at are live pictures on high Street just outside the parliament buildings as we seek to find out whether the police are abandoning their investigation here or if there is any more information that they can provide to us about why they were called. so we are going to try to approach the divisional Commander to see if we can get a comment from him on why is going on I I know nothing with that process. I'm waiting to be advised by to see whether he needs you to continue this investigation yesterday appointment issue I know nothing but what it is. That's why I made my way outside so that I can answer any pressure because I was there. I'm not going to deceive sure. so what. You've really been checking on here nothing. there is the complaint made by the top of them and they calling the police and they have to decide what they're checking on. I always compliment me. Alright. The complaint made the comment that some issues that I I know nothing with this model and I should agree with me and I I was not in verification room and they've done to any person University. I wasn't there. Hey police commander for this division mister Ed Thomas there I mean you heard it from him. He's not exactly sure why he was called here too. All of his police officers have returned. there is a load shout out it happening. There's a lot. There's a lot shout. We're here in the room where the verification is taken place rather where they're trying to certain. what happened early on. There's seems to be a lot of confusion but we're not sure exactly what is happening so we are going to try to be able to speak with someone to find it exactly what is happening. There's a lot of noise and. So, we just have to wait for someone to come out to tell us what exactly is happening, but at the moment we can hear a lot of voices being raised in bathroom. you could hear it coming from the inside but again we're not sure what exactly is happening in bathroom. The Chief elections officer is in that room. there are a number of observers and number of representatives of political parties and there's the PPF. Inside the Citizenship Initiative, the new movement, a new and United Gana, the Justice and Liberty Party. All of them trying to determine whether the data from Jacob was stamped with after a staffer left a verification room and rental and adjacent room. Sandy was feeling tired and wanted to go home, but some person's reported that he was working on the computers. Still, the commander just informing us that the observers at called in the police. It was far and observers are local observers, but at the moment we're really not clear on what is happening in that room. we saw earlier the Chief elections officer enter that room. so we're not sure what the negotiations are at a moment about we are continuing to provide you with these pictures as developments on fold, there was allowed. Just know a collective showed by the person's insight of that room but again we are not sure why we are continuing to monitor these developments. we hoping to be able to speak to someone from the inside you see the police standing guard here which means that the media are not allowed to go into the building. It's a very strange thing because this is the media Center. it should allow access to us spot. We're not being allowed to go in with our cameras. to video what. Is happening so we are standing by the police are standing by to their wedding structures from the chief elections Officer to determine what to do how to proceed. we are noticing a gentleman these people leaving the room crying. We're not sure why let's go see if we can try to talk with him. I want someone left the circle. you tell us what's happening in the room. I know that. He came out and theirs and we are not sure. Why but the situation very tense in that room at the moment? Where the Chief elections officer is along with observers and representatives of various political parties. The party in government at the time the ESPN plus Coalition we can see any of their representatives here at the last person to leave this area was the attorney General Bassel Williams represented the coalition that was many many hours ago. We haven't noticed anyone knew from coalition here, but inside that room are presidential candidate of the PPP. Air Front Alley the presidential candidate of the Citizenship Initiative, Ronda Lamb, the presidential candidate of the Liberty and Justice Party, mister Lennox Shuman. There is also in that building Jonathan Yearwood from a new and United Diana. We understand that there are other political party representatives in the building. Remember there were 11 parties that can tested the elections and so many of them very small parties. It's hard to get people to work at wrong the clock but they are all inside that building earlier, they came out as collective to express their frustration at what has been happening if you're just joining us there. Is a situation on folding at the office of the returning Office of four region form in which verification was taken place in a room and a staffer of Jacob, who was assisting that process left with a laptop and a flash drive, saying he was feeling tired and wanted to go home, but he was soon after noticed a working on the laptop. Flash drive in an adjacent room and an alarm was raised the police work. all then it is very frustrating as various representatives of the parties emerge one of them in cheers just a moment ago Mason and candidate for those out there. They're represented is other opportunities in the room what has happened is that since the police has been calling the the staffer who left with the laptop on the flash right was called back to the room and there was the Russia the of service and the party represented his back into the room when the chief elections officer Mister Keith Louis Phil arrived at with the party of policeman. They're back in natural what they're trying to do is to. The data to see if the data was tampered with. The statements of faults, which they would have in their hands so they would know if there was a difference in the results that were being put on a projector as screen so again just beyond the police menu and see the Commissioner of the Elections Commission, Mister says Goodridge there and others as we try to determine what exactly is transpiring the police. Mister Automatic said that he is on standby for further instructions from the chief elections officer. He said he knows nothing about verification. He knows nothing what is going on in their body is awaiting further instructions from the chief elections officer whether he is still needed here which is policeman or it is time for him to leave. So we are seeing some representatives of. Parties leave this area. So various representatives of the political parties are coming and going out of the room. We are waiting to try to see if we can talk with someone in the picture you're seeing that's doctor Frank Anthony and Primanti Chan and sister sing from the PPC They are in discussions with official of the Diana Elections Commission. Other persons are in a room as they look at their results to. See if any data was tampered with at the moment. We are reporting to live from the Office of the Returning officer for the Gang Elections Commission for this March, third general and regional elections. As a reminder, we have been covering developments down here and the region at the office of the returning officer for District number four since about 90 'clock after there were dramatic developments first starting when the representatives of the returning officer for this journey two ladies, one of them pregnant said they were tired and needed to leave the observers Political party leaders surprised by this because they were given a commitment by the Chief Elections Officer. The verification process for the statement supports for the region would be counted continuously are very fight sorry continuously until all of them were complete so that the the decoration of the results for this region could be known. so after those two persons left, then everyone was. Thumb there was no other arrangement in place for workers to replace them for the process to continue. as a result, there was a very long stand off and until the Chief elections officer made arrangements for Japanese returning officer to come to the site to be to allow the process to continue when that person arrived. just about four statement supports were counted and The staffer, who was managing the computer with a flash drive of the data, projecting it on the screen. I said he was start and wanted to go home, but he was noticed in room just next fight to the one where the verification process was taken place and he then the police were done called in and so the police are still standing by the divisional Commander San Diego. No instructions as yet on how to proceed, he is waiting on the. Chief Elections officer to give him further directions and so we're continuing to watch live pictures outside of the office of the returning officer for Region Number four. Looked at is the divisional Commander Mister Ed Thomas entering the room that all important drill, where have all these dramatic events took place this morning. he entered that room. He just spoke with us and he said he was a wedding instructions from the chief elections officer on how to proceed, he said he doesn't know anything about a verification of elections the results so he was a waiting to say what I need.
