Vote counting in Sunyani East ends, incumbent wins

The recount of the June 13 NPP primaries as ordered by the Sunyani High Court has ended with the incumbent, Lawyer Ameyaw Kyeremeh, emerging winner of the poll.
George Kumi, former Ghana Ambassador to Libya and High Commissioner to Nigeria in the Kufuor administration, had a total of 387 votes, losing to the incumbent, Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh, who had 389 votes in the keenly-contested election.
Previously Lawyer Ameyaw had 388 votes but disagreed with the vote count and made a plea to the high court for a recount.
This afternoon after a recount of the votes, Lawyer Ameyaw has claimed vindication.
He is yet to speak with the media on his second victory.
