The NPP Parliamentary Primaries in Yendi concluded without an officially recognized winner, according to the Electoral Commission (EC).

Disruptions during the counting process prevented the declaration of a clear victor.

Even though the official declaration is pending, both candidates, Farouk Mahama and Abibata Shani, have individually claimed victory.

Addressing the matter on JoyNews, Director of Electoral Services for the EC, Dr. Serebuor Quaicoo, underscored that an official winner has yet to be determined.

Simultaneously, concerns have arisen as 28 Majority members lost their bid to contest in the December 2024 Elections during the recently concluded primaries. There is worry that this might adversely affect the functioning of the house, including government business.

Nevertheless, First Deputy Speaker Joseph Osei-Owusu reassures that the significant number of Majority members losing their seats will not impact parliamentary work.
