Mr Boateng said the results of the election was a victory for democracy and not for the individual contestants, and advised both winners and losers to unite and intensify their campaign to win the 2012 elections. The Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Alex Somuah Obeng, advised supporters of the party to bury their differences and unite and mobilize more people to join the party to win the constituency parliamentary seat in the next election. 06 Nov. 09
