Eric Nana Agyemang-Prempeh of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has emerged victorious in the Ahafo Ano North constituency after a re-collation of election results.

The re-collation was necessitated by disputes over the initial results, which were marred by violence and chaos at the Ahafo Ano North Collation Centre in Tepa.

Agyemang-Prempeh secured 20,353 votes, narrowly beating his closest rival, Kwasi Adusei of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who garnered 20,232 votes.

The Electoral Commission (EC) conducted the re-collation under tight security at its Greater Accra Regional Office, ensuring a peaceful and transparent process.

The Ahafo Ano North constituency is one of nine constituencies undergoing re-collation following court-mandated directives to address disputes over initial results.

Agyemang-Prempeh's victory is a significant boost to the NPP's parliamentary presence in the region.

The NPP has been working to maintain its majority in Parliament, and Agyemang-Prempeh's win is an important part of this effort.



The outcome of the re-collation exercise is a testament to the EC's commitment to ensuring the integrity of the electoral process in Ghana.
