A/R: We Will Take 3 Outstanding Parliamentary Seats- NDC

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is certain the three outstanding Parliamentary seats in the Ashanti Region will subsequently be declared in their favour after the results got embroiled in dispute.

This was relayed by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NDC, Hon Andrew Augustus Nana Akwasi during a courtesy call on the King of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on January 1, 2025, during the Awukudae Festival.

With seven seats cleared in their favour, he is looking forward to making their overall seats in the stronghold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 10, a record-breaking feat for them.

Speaking on his behalf, Hon Ofori Agyeman, former MCE for Obuasi said, “He (Chairman Andrew) has been able to set a record no Chairman has been able to achieve. The highest number of parliamentary seats the NDC had ever held in the Ashanti Region during an election was four. However, under his leadership, the NDC has won seven incontestable seats, and they are set to be sworn into office. There are three contestable ones and we believe we will secure them to make it 10 in the Ashanti Region.”

Outstanding seats
Among the outstanding seats in the Ashanti Region are Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano North and Ahafo Ano South West constituencies.

In a statement issued on December 23, 2024, the Regional Chairman said his outfit was taking a legal course of action to take the seats.

“The NDC is taking legal action to address the issues and ensure the rightful results are recognized. We are committed to ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process and will continue to stand firm in our efforts to uphold the will of the electorate.

Meanwhile, among the seats won are Asawase, Ejura Sekyere, New Edubease, Akrofrom and Adansi Asokwa.
