Edem Agbana has been declared the winner of the Ketu North parliamentary primaries

The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has declared Edem Agbana as the winner of the party’s parliamentary primaries in Ketu North constituency in the Volta Region.

This was announced by the General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey today, Tuesday, May 16, 2023.

There was confusion after Saturday’s primaries between the two main contenders –Edem Agbana and John Adanu Zewu– following a tie.

Edem was initially declared the winner by a single vote, but upon two recounts, the EC discovered 3 ballot papers that were not stamped.

2 of the 3 unstamped ballots were cast in favour of Edem Agbana whilst 1 unstamped ballot was cast in favour of John Adanu.

Edem in an earlier statement insisted that he was the winner though the electoral management body Electoral Commission (EC) had not declared so.
