Patrick Yaw Boamah has been declared the winner of the Okaikwei Central Constituency following a recount by the Electoral Commission (EC), overturning the initial announcement in favour of his close rival, Baba Sadiq of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Boamah secured 21,099 votes, while Baba Sadiq garnered 19,368 votes.
After the declaration, Boamah expressed gratitude for the victory, saying, "We thank God for this victory." So far, the EC has declared five seats in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), including Tema Central, Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano North, Okaikwei Central, and Nsawam Adoagyiri.
On December 20, the High Court ordered the Electoral Commission to re-collate and announce the results for the Ablekuma North and Nsawam Adoagyiri constituencies, nullifying the previous announcements.
