Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, chalked up a clear win at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) headquarters polling station, polling 308 votes from the total ballots cast.

Businessman Kennedy Ohene Agyapong emerged as his nearest rival at the party’s national office with 160 votes, while the remaining three contenders recorded much lower figures.

Figures from the NPP headquarters indicate that Dr Bawumia captured roughly 64 percent of the votes, compared to about 33 percent obtained by Mr Agyapong.

Former Education Minister Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum and former Food and Agriculture Minister Dr Bryan Acheampong each received three votes, while former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyepong polled seven votes.

Nationwide, more than 211,000 delegates are expected to cast their ballots across over 300 polling centres.
