2024 Polls: Disruption delays Parliamentary results in Suhum Constituency

The Electoral Commission (EC) has postponed the declaration of parliamentary results for the Suhum Constituency due to chaos at the collation center.

Supporters of the parliamentary candidates stormed the center, forcing officials to halt proceedings.

All ballot boxes and election materials have since been secured at the Police Eastern South Command in Kyebi.

Both the incumbent independent MP, Oboafo Kwadwo Asante, and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Frank Asiedu Bekoe, are claiming victory.

The EC is expected to announce the official results on Tuesday, December 10.
