A downpour that hit Nkoranza North in the Bono East Region delayed the collation of ballot papers in the District Level Elections (DLEs) conducted in the Municipality on Tuesday.
Nonetheless, Mr Chrisentus Derry, the Nkoranza North Returning Officer of the Electoral Commission (EC) said the DLEs were conducted successfully in all the 26 Electoral Areas (EAs) in the municipality.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), he said the EC was still collating both results for the District Assembly (DAEs) and Unit Committee Elections (UCEs).
The EC Returning Officer said 98 candidates, comprising 93 males and five females contesting the DAEs with a total of 190 candidates, made up of 176 males and 14 females vying in the UCEs.
Mr Derry expressed appreciation to the stakeholders for the successful conduct of the DLEs in the Municipality and added that the elections were conducted between 0700 hours and 1700 hours peacefully without hitches.
