\n

The treasurer position in the just-ended New Patriotic Party (NPP) elections in the Western North Region could not be declared following concerns of over-voting.<\/p>\n

199 voters cast their ballot, but it emerged later after counting that the total votes in the box stood at 200.<\/p>\n

Although the two aspirants, Adu-Ankamah Gifty and Armoh Kye John polled 99 and 100 votes respectively, there was an extra ballot deemed to be a rejected vote.<\/p>\n

The discrepancy according to Citi News<\/strong> sources led to the non-declaration of results for the treasurer portfolio.<\/p>\n

In other contests however, the incumbent Chairman, William Benjamin Assuah lost the election.<\/p>\n

Six other incumbents were able to secure their various positions. Below is the results:<\/p>\n
