Only one rejected ballot was recorded.

“I feel strengthened, I didn’t expect to lose. We covered all the tracks and carried a very strong campaign. The delegates have spoken and I congratulate Mr Ramadan. Democracy has won”. She established.

Madam Lithur added, she intends calling and congratulating her contender, Mohammed Adamu Ramadan and also throw her weight behind him, so the party can wrestle the seat from NPP’s Yaw Buabeng Asamoah.
