The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will have at least 89 seats in the upcoming 9th Parliament of the 4th Republic of Ghana.<\/p>\n

This comes after seven of the nine constituencies whose parliamentary election results were disputed were resolved by the Electoral Commission of Ghana.<\/p>\n

Before the EC resolved the issues with the seven constituencies, the NPP, according to Majority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, had secured 82 seats in the 9th Parliament.<\/p>\n

After the exercises on Saturday, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidates in seven respective constituencies were declared winners.<\/p>\n

Four seats, which were initially declared for the NDC, namely Obuasi East, Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, and Techiman South, were re-declared in favour of the NPP.<\/p>\n

The Obuasi East seat, which was initially declared for NDC\u2019s Samuel Aboagye, was re-declared for NPP\u2019s Patrick Boakye-Yiadom; the Tema Central seat, which was declared for NDC\u2019s Ebi Bright, was re-declared for NPP\u2019s Charles Forson.<\/p>\n

Also, the Techiman South seat was re-declared for NPP\u2019s Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah after it had been initially declared for Christopher Beyere Baasongti, and the Okaikwei Central seat was re-declared for NPP\u2019s Dr. Patrick Boamah after it was initially declared for NDC\u2019s Baba Sadiq.<\/p>\n

The Nsawam Adoagyiri, Ahafo Ano South West, and Ahafo Ano North constituencies, which were initially incomplete, were also declared in favour of the NPP\u2019s Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Eric Nana Agyeman-Prempeh, and Elvis Osei Mensah Dapaah, respectively.<\/p>\n

Two constituencies – Ablekuma North and Dome Kwabenya – are, however, yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

For the Ablekuma North Constituency, NDC\u2019s Ewurabena Aubynn was declared the winner of the constituency\u2019s seat without the results of 62 polling stations. <\/p>\n

The NPP\u2019s candidate for the constituency is Nana Akua Owusu Afriyieh, a former MP and the current Deputy Chief Executive of the Coastal Development Authority.<\/p>\n

For Dome Kwabenya, NDC\u2019s Elikplim Akurugu was declared the winner of the constituency\u2019s seat, beating NPP\u2019s Mike Oquaye Jnr.<\/p>\n

All other factors being equal, the NDC would now have 181 seats in the 9th Parliament with independent candidates holding 4 seats.<\/p>\n
