Ahafo Ano North, 6 Other Constituencies Declared For NPP

The Electoral Commission (EC) on Saturday, December 21 successfully re-collated and announced the results for seven out of nine disputed constituencies, following a High Court ruling.

These nine constituencies were contested in the aftermath of the 2024 general elections.

On December 20, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) filed an application at the Supreme Court seeking an order to quash the High Court’s ruling and restrain the EC from re-collating the results.

However, the EC proceeded and successfully declared results in seven constituencies, all in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). These constituencies include
Ahafo Ano North
Techiman South
Ahafo Ano South West
Nsawam Adoagyiri
Obuasi East
Okaikwei Central
Tema Central
