The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has finalized the recount of results for seven out of nine constituencies with disputed parliamentary outcomes, declaring victories for the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The constituencies include Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Ahafo Ano South West, Ahafo Ano North, Obuasi East, Tema Central, and Techiman South.
The recount overturned earlier outcomes that favored the National Democratic Congress (NDC). However, the results for Dome-Kwabenya and Ablekuma North are still pending due to missing documents and unresolved issues with pink sheets.
Key NPP candidates who won include Frank Annor-Dompreh, Patrick Yaw Boamah, and Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah. The party’s total parliamentary seats now stand at 89, up from an initial 82.
The exercise, which took place under tight security, faced protests from the NDC, with some candidates challenging the process and filing applications in court. Despite the controversies, the EC emphasized its commitment to ensuring transparency and adhering to electoral laws.
