Elvis Osei Mensah Dapaah, the candidate representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for Ahafo Ano South West, has been officially announced as the winner of the parliamentary election after a recount of votes mandated by the court.
The recount, which was overseen by the Electoral Commission (EC), validated Dapaah’s victory with a total of 16,680 votes.
His nearest rival, Sedik Abubakar from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), garnered 16,540 votes, resulting in one of the most closely contested elections in the history of the constituency.
Background
The recount was initiated after the NDC raised concerns over alleged irregularities in the initial collation process.
These grievances led to heightened tensions in the constituency, with both parties demanding transparency and fairness in the handling of election results.
