The Chief Executive Officer of the Middle Belt Development Authority (MBDA), Joseph Kumah Mackay, has lost his bid to represent the people of Sene West Constituency on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Joseph Kumah Mackay was highly tipped to snatch the seat from the incumbent NDC MP, Kwame Ampofo Twumasi, considering that he put up a good show and lost the election by 16 votes to the same contender in 2020 but that did not materialise.

Joseph Kumah Mackay secured 13,362 votes, while his other competitor, Kwame Ampomfo Twumasi, polled 13,824 votes to emerge victorious.

Results from the various constituencies are being announced following the counting and collation of votes at the various polling and collation centres across the country.

The exercise, which is being held at the various collation centres in the country is aimed at promoting transparency and fairness in the electioneering process.

Both the National Democratic Congress and New Patriotic Party have been holding separate press conferences urging their supporters to remain calm and allow the EC to do its work.

The NPP has admonished its supporters to conduct themselves properly while they monitor the collation and announcement of results.

The NDC, on the other hand, has ordered its supporters to remain vigilant and not celebrate as they follow the process.

The 2024 elections were contested by 13 presidential candidates and 807 parliamentary candidates.
