Background
There was uproar at the grounds of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Brong Ahafo Regional executives’ election due to a court injunction.
For more than two hours, an uproar of the “we shall vote" by the contestants and the delegates shook the walls of the conference hall.
This stalled the election which nearly engendered the elections due to the court injunction barring the Electoral Commission (EC) to conduct the elections.
This did not go down well with the stranded delegates and contestants gathered for the voting.
However, the Chairman of the Elections Committee for the party in the region, Kwasi Adu Gyan, in a statement called for the elections to commence, saying the interest of the party was supreme despite calls by the Sunyani East MP, Kwesi Ameyaw-Cheremeh to hold on following the application of injunction.
Below are the election results.
