The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Frank Annoh-Dompreh has been declared the winner of the Nsawam-Adogyiri parliamentary election.
This was announced at the Greater Accra Regional EC officer after the Commission was ordered by the High Court in Accra to proceed with the collation and subsequent declaration of the results of the just-ended parliamentary election.
The Court presided over by Justice Rev. Joseph Adu-Owusu Agyeman on Friday, December 20, also ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to provide adequate security to the EC at the collation centre.
Six NPP parliamentary candidates in the 2024 elections applied for a judicial review in the form of a Mandamus, urging the High Court to compel the Electoral Commission (EC) to collate and declare parliamentary results in their respective constituencies and compel the IGP to ensure adequate security at collation centres to enable the EC to carry out its constitutional duties without further disruptions.
Already, the re-collation of parliamentary election results for the Obuasi East constituency has confirmed Patrick Boakye Yiadom of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the winner by a 19-vote margin.
