Results released by the \nElectoral Commission (EC) in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency \nelection shows the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Lydia Alhassan, \nhas won the seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She garnered 68.80 per cent of the total votes after the Electoral Commission (EC) finished its collation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final results released by the EC are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 Candidate <\/td> Votes Obtained<\/td>Percentage (%)<\/td><\/tr>
Delali Brempong<\/td>5341<\/td>30.52<\/td><\/tr>
William Doworkpor<\/td>102<\/td>0.58<\/td><\/tr>
Clement Boadi<\/td>17<\/td>0.10<\/td><\/tr>
Lydia Alhassan<\/td>12,041<\/td>68.80<\/td><\/tr>
Total Valid Votes <\/td>17,501<\/td><\/tr>

Total % Turnout <\/td>1,983<\/td><\/tr>
Polling centres<\/td>137<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

The elated but composed NPP candidate, who incidentally celebrates her birthday today\u00a0is receiving lots of congratulatory messages at the Central Cafeteria collation center at Legon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to Joy News correspondents who reported from few of the 137\n polling stations, the wife of deceased MP Kyeremateng Agyarko took an \nearly lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not surprising as the biggest opposition candidate, NDC\u2019s \nKwasi Brempong withdrew from the contest after a shooting incident early\n Thursday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joy News reporters spread \nacross polling stations in the constituency report that security has \nbeen tight in all the centres that they have visited with a lot of \npolice and Fire Service officers present to forestall violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said one thing that characterised the by-election was low voter turn out in the areas they visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some polling centres on the University of Ghana campus had as low as zero per cent turn-out and a high of 28 per cent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The by-election was marred by violence at\u00a0La Bawalashie<\/a> where eight people sustained gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
