Frank Annoh-Dompreh has successfully retained his Nsawam Adoagyiri parliamentary seat following a recount of the election results.

This was announced during the re-collation exercise on Saturday, December 21.

He polled  29,640 of the total votes cast.

His closest contender from the NDC polled 29,433 votes.

“I dedicate this victory to the almighty,” he told journalists after being declared winner.

This declaration comes after the High Court directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to re-collate and declare the results for several constituencies, including Ablekuma North and Nsawam-Adoagyiri, despite previous results having been announced.

Aggrieved parliamentary candidates from both the NDC and NPP had filed a writ seeking to compel the EC to conduct fresh elections in these constituencies, citing anomalies in the collation process and the declaration of winners.

Presiding Judge Joseph Adu Owusu Agyeman, in his ruling on Friday, December 20, ordered the EC to proceed with the re-collation of results in the Ablekuma North constituency.
