The NPP Parliamentary Primaries in Yendi has concluded without an officially recognized winner, as declared by the Electoral Commission (EC).

Disruptions during the counting process led to the absence of a clear victor. Despite the lack of an official declaration, both candidates, Farouk Mahama and Abibata Shani, have asserted their individual victories in the contest.

Addressing the situation on JoyNews, Dr. Serebuor Quaicoo, the Director of Electoral Services for the EC, emphasized that an official winner has not yet been determined.

In a related development, 28 members on the Majority side lost their bid to contest in the December 2024 Elections during the recently concluded primaries. This has raised concerns about the potential impact on the functioning of the house, including government business.

However, offering reassurance, the First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei-Owusu, stated that despite the significant number of Majority members losing their seats, the work in Parliament will not be adversely affected.
