Results released by the Wa Municipal office of the Electoral Commission showed that only nine out of 28 teachers who contested the recent District Level Elections (DLE) won their seats. However, this figure is still enough for the teachers to top the list of new members to the Assembly while farmers and photographers had three members each in the 31-member Assembly. The results revealed that Miss Margaret Vera B. Saan, a 52-year-old nurse at the Wa Regional Hospital who is representing Kunta Electoral Area, is the only victor among the three female contestants in the Municipality. All the four Accountants/ Accounts Clerks who stood for the elections in the Municipality were elected while three Civil Servants failed to get the nod. An administrator, a carpenter, a pensioner, a chemist and one unemployed person won seats. One remarkable observation in the election was that one candidate, Ibrahim Seidu, a community animator who has been representing the Jonga Electoral Area since the inception of the DLE in 1988, this time lost the seat to Ibrahim A. Yussif, a photographer. Source: GNA
