The Electoral Commission (EC) has officially declared Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the winner of the Techiman South parliamentary seat following the addition of results from outstanding polling stations.
This announcement brings closure to the long-contested constituency, which has been at the center of legal and political disputes since the December 2024 general elections.
Final Results
After the inclusion of the results from the outstanding polling stations, Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah emerged victorious, retaining the seat for the NPP. His closest contender, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, fell short of the required votes to overturn the initial lead established during the election.
Background
Techiman South has been a hotspot of electoral disputes in Ghana’s recent elections, with both the NPP and NDC claiming victory. Allegations of irregularities, security concerns, and calls for recounts plagued the collation process, prompting multiple court interventions. 
On January 4, 2025, the High Court ordered the EC to complete the collation and declaration process for Techiman South, alongside other disputed constituencies. The EC’s compliance with this directive has now provided a resolution to the contentious seat.
Implications
The declaration of Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah as the winner secures a significant urban-rural constituency for the NPP, bolstering their parliamentary presence. For the NDC, the loss in Techiman South represents a setback in their efforts to challenge NPP strongholds in the Bono East region.
Next Steps
The focus now shifts to the swearing-in ceremony of elected Members of Parliament on January 6, 2025. With Techiman South resolved, Ghana moves closer to finalizing its parliamentary representation for the 9th Parliament.
