Dubai-based Al Ghurair will print ballot papers for the October 17 presidential election, IEBC has maintained, citing a running contract.

This emerged even as a meeting between the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and presidential candidates aborted. A special project team for October 17 polls and ballot printing were on the agenda.
