The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Obuasi East Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Patrick Boakye-Yiadom, has been declared Member of Parliament-elect for the constituency.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for Obuasi East, Samuel Aboagye, was initially declared the winner of the constituency's parliamentary election, but the EC nullified the declaration and called for a re-collation of the election results.
After the re-collation exercise at the Greater Accra Regional Office of the EC, the returning officer for Obuasi East announced NPP's Patrick Boakye as the winner with 18,558 votes, while NDC's Samuel Aboagye polled 18,549 votes.
NDC agents for the constituency were not present at the re-collation exercise.
