The parliamentary results for the Damongo Constituency are in, and Samuel Abu Jinapor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has emerged victorious, securing his seat for another term in Ghana’s Parliament.
Jinapor garnered a total of 16,222 votes, comfortably beating his closest contender, Mutawakilu Adam of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who received 14,425 votes. Independent candidate Saaka Baba Moses trailed significantly, earning only 66 votes.
This victory underscores Jinapor’s continued popularity in the constituency, a seat he first claimed in the 2020 elections, flipping what was traditionally an NDC stronghold.
MyNewsGh has previously reported that in a bid to ensure transparency and fairness in the ongoing 2024 general elections, the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana and representatives of political parties in the Damongo Constituency reached a formal agreement on how to proceed with the collation and declaration of results.
The agreement, signed by the EC and representatives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and Convention People’s Party (CPP), outlines a collaborative process aimed at resolving any disputes or delays in the collation of votes.
Speaking at the signing, John S.B. Akakpo, Regional Director of the Electoral Commission, explained, “This agreement is a critical step in ensuring a smooth and transparent process for declaring the results.
“All parties have committed to adhering to the outlined procedures to maintain peace and trust in the electoral system.”
