The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyiri and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has emerged victorious in the re-collation exercise held at the Electoral Commission’s (EC) Greater Accra Regional Office in Ridge.

Mr. Annoh-Dompreh secured 29,640 votes, narrowly defeating his closest contender, Fummey Philibert of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who garnered 29,433 votes—a margin of 207 votes.

Expressing his gratitude and excitement, Mr. Annoh-Dompreh described the victory as “sweet,” emphasizing that it reflects the true will of the people of Nsawam-Adoagyiri.

Background

The Electoral Commission undertook the re-collation and declaration of results for nine constituencies following a directive from the Accra High Court. The re-collation addresses disputes in constituencies such as Nsawam-Adoagyiri (Eastern Region), Ahafo Ano South West, Ahafo Ano North, Obuasi East (Ashanti Region), Dome-Kwabenya, Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, and Tema Central (Greater Accra Region), as well as Techiman South (Bono East Region).

The court ordered the EC to finalize the collation process and declare winners in accordance with electoral laws. It also mandated the Inspector-General of Police to provide adequate security at the collation centres.

The exercise, conducted under heavy police and military presence, continues at the EC’s Greater Accra Regional Office, with results from other constituencies expected shortly.
