Kumawu by-election: Provisional results so far put NPP’s Ernest Anim in pole position

The polls so far have been largely peaceful, watched by a heavy police presence, with the NPP and NDC deploying high-level officials as polling officials. Kumawu has 34,800 registered voters, however poll watchers say turnout in by-elections are generally below par.

The NDC has vowed to wrest the seat, made vacant following the death of the NPP’s Philip Basoah, from the NPP which has always won it since 2000.

Already supporters of the NPP and its candidate are on the streets in wild jubilation.

There were pockets of disagreements, while turnout was a bit low, according to Luv FM’s Ohemeng Tawiah, who says however, that the polls were generally peaceful.

Below are some of the results trickling in from Myjoyonline correspondents.
