John Boadu went ahead to claim that President Nana Akufo-Addo has got an unassailable lead over the NDC's John Mahama in the presidential elections.
According to him, the NPP had received results from 34,040 polling stations representing 87.43 per cent of the total of 38, 933 total.
Out of the number, Boadu claimed that Akufo-Addo won 6, 085, 000 (6.085 million) representing 52.72 percent as against Mahama's 5,308,000 (5.308 million) representing 45.93 percent.
