Minister of Interior Mr Mark Owen Woyongo has lost the Navrongo Central seat to NPP 's Joseph Kofi Kowe Adda in a fiercely contested election.
Kofi Adda, who was the Minister for Energy in the New Patriotic Party government under President John Kufuor, polled 20,667 , representing 51.69 per cent, while the incumbent MP Mark Woyongo polled 17,203, representing 43.2 per cent.
Prior to the election, the NPP had accused Hon. Mark Woyongo, of sharing cash in order to buy his way to power, an allegation he vehemently denied.
The Navrongo Central seat therefore becomes one of the seat that has fallen from the hands of the governing National Democratic Congress.
