In certified results declared by the EC’s Returning Officer, Kingsley Atta polled 570 votes representing 50.2%, whilst the incumbent Chairman, Fiifi Mensah, obtained 566 votes, representing 49.8%.
The re-run followed the NPP’s National Steering Committee’s decision to annul the initial constituency executive election, citing breaches of party directives and electoral regulations.
In that election, Kingsley Atta defeated the incumbent Chairman, Fiifi Mensah, with 714 votes, representing 72.8% of the 995 valid votes cast.
Fiifi Mensah obtained 267 votes, representing 27.2%.
In a show of sportsmanship, the outgoing Chairman, Fiifi Mensah, walked straight to the seat of the newly-elected Chairman, Kingsley Atta, and hugged him in a warm handshake.
