NPP primaries: No winner declared in Yendi, says EC

The counting of ballots for the incumbent, Farouk Aliu Mahama, was disrupted when the presiding officer had counted two hundred and ninety-six (296) votes in his favor

The Electoral Commission (EC) has said it has not declared a winner in the Yendi constituency in the just-ended New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries.

The counting of ballots for the incumbent, Farouk Aliu Mahama, was disrupted when the presiding officer had counted 296 votes in his favor.

“Unfortunately, the destruction of four hundred and eighty-nine (489) ballots which remained to be counted made it impossible for the Presiding Officer to complete the collation and declare the results. The Commission therefore disassociates itself from the declaration,” the EC said in a statement.
