Meanwhile the National Democratic Congress, NDC claims that they are currently having the majority of seats in parliament.

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday the Director of Elections, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah said they have collated their own results which shows they have majority currently.

“It is not true that the NPP is leading in parliamentary seats, we currently have 140 seats in Parliament. We have won many in the three Northern Regions. There are still a few seats available to be snatched. In most electoral cases, wherever a parliamentary seat is won, the presidential candidate gets more votes so you know how things are going”.
