The re-collation of parliamentary election results for the Obuasi East constituency has confirmed Patrick Boakye Yiadom of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the winner by a slim 9-vote margin.
The process, conducted at the Greater Accra Electoral Commission (EC) Office, is part of a re-collation exercise affecting nine constituencies.
Dr. Boakye Yiadom retained his seat with 18,558 votes, narrowly defeating Samuel Aboagye of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who secured 18,539 votes. Independent candidate Adjei Owusu Afriyie trailed with 424 votes.
The re-collation followed disputes over procedural irregularities during the initial tally. The EC emphasized the importance of transparency and accuracy to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
With political tensions high, security remains heavy at the EC’s Greater Accra Regional Office. Results from the remaining eight constituencies are expected later today.
