NDC wins disputed Sene West seat by 16 votes

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has won the parliamentary seat in the Sene West Constituency in the Bono East Region, according to provisional results.

The area, where results became a subject of contention, saw a petition for an interlocutory injunction by the NPP (New Patriotic Party) thrown out by the Wenchi High Court.

The injunction was being sought with regards to polls at the Tato ‘A’ polling station in Tato Bator.

The court ruling gave way for the (EC) Electoral Commision to declare the results of the parliamentary contest in the Sene West Constituency.

The court has also fined the party ¢14,000 describing the petition as “irredeemably incompetent,” and the Electoral Commission of Ghana went on to count the ballots in the contested.

Following the counting of the Tato ‘A’ polling station ballots, the NDC garnered 275 votes against the NPP’s 148 leaving the NDP with just 1 vote. A total of 47 votes were rejected.

The result was subsequently reconciled with that of other already collated from or stations after which the NDC’s Kwame Ampofo Twumasi won with a cumulative 13,116 against the NPP’s Joseph Markay Kuma who polled 13,100 per the provisional results. NDP garnered 191 in the constituency.

There were a total of 26,407 valid votes cast with 660 rejected ballots.

The counting was supervised by the EC officials in the company of Dan Kwaku Botwe of the New Patriotic Party and New Democratic Congress General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia among others.

This slim margin of 16 votes brings the Parliamentary seats to 137 apiece with the NPP-biased independent candidate making up a full House.

Meanwhile, there is heavy security presence at the Bono East Regional Police Command where the exercise was undertaken.

The Electoral Commision of Ghana  is yet to make an official declaration of the results.

All the controversies surrounding these latest results began when a ballot box was snatched on election day at the Tato ‘A’ polling station and subsequently retrieved.
