NPP’s Dr. Kofi Asare wins Akwatia seat
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot

Accra, Aug 19, Ghanadot - The Electoral Commission (EC) has declared Dr. Kofi Asare of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) winner of the Akwatia Constituency Parliamentary seat after he bagged 17,900 votes in collated results from the December 7, 2008 election and those of Tuesday, August 18 rerun at six polling centres.

Baba Jamal from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) polled 15, 860 votes from the two polls to place second ahead of Messrs Samuel Agyei of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Basil Ahiable and Mr. Samuel Abrokwah, both independents.

Meanwhile NDC National Chairman, Dr. Kwabena Adjei has indicated that while the party has no doubts about Tuesday’s election that completed the December elections, the party was displeased at a seeming disinterest in a petition it has lodged with the EC over some four polling centres in the constituency that recorded ‘astronomical voter turnouts’ in December.

According to him, the party has legitimate reasons to believe that things were not done properly and the EC, being the electoral institution, should have looked into the matter.

  Are we seeing a better Ghana now?

Commentary, Aug 17, Ghanadot - If the above question were asked today, I would have to say not yet. A better Ghana was President Mills’ promise. But judging by what is going on at Akwatia now that political promise is way off track.
