Osei Mensah Dapaah, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Ahafo Ano South West, has been declared the winner of the parliamentary polls in that area.

Osei Mensah Dapaah had previously been declared the winner of the parliamentary elections in the area. However, the National Democratic Congress had opposed his win.

The NDC demanded a re-collection after citing irregularities during the initial tally in the area.

These grievances had created heightened tensions in the constituency, with both parties demanding transparency and fairness in handling election results.

After the re-collation process at the Greater Accra Electoral Commission Office, Osei Dapaah got 16,680 votes, whereas the NDC’s Sedik Abubakar from the NDC got 16,540.

Adjei-Mensah Korsah wins Techiman South

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Techiman South and incumbent member of parliament, Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, has been declared the winner of the 2024 parliamentary election in the constituency.

Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah retained his seat with 46,663 votes.

The declaration came after much contention in the constituency, as the National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate for the area, Christopher Beyere Baasongti, was initially declared the winner.

However, the results were nullified after the Electoral Commission determined that the results had been declared under much duress and did not follow the procedural protocols of the commission.

Martin Korsah’s 46,663 votes following the re-collation beat Christopher Beyere Baasongti, who came out second with 43,429.
