This comes hours after the incumbent MP, Lydia Alhassan was declared the winner of the 2020 parliamentary elections.

Lydia Alhassan won with 39,851 votes against 37,778 votes garnered by the NDC's John Dumelo.

However, in a statement sighted by JoyNews, Mr. Dumelo has indicated that he is unsatisfied with the outcome of the elections.
