The Electoral Commission (EC) confirmed Korsah’s victory with 46,663 votes, securing a clear lead over Christopher Beyere Baasongti of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who garnered 43,429 votes.
The Techiman South constituency had been at the center of controversy during the 2024 general elections, with both parties claiming victory. Allegations of irregularities prompted a High Court directive to re-collate the results, ensuring transparency and fairness. The re-collation exercise was conducted under heavy security at the EC’s regional office in Accra, with representatives from both parties, electoral officials, and independent monitors observing the process.
The peaceful conclusion of the re-collation exercise has been hailed as a demonstration of Ghana’s commitment to democratic principles, judicial oversight, and institutional accountability.
The EC’s confirmation of Korsah’s win puts an end to the political impasse in Techiman South, paving the way for renewed focus on governance and development.
In his victory statement, Korsah expressed profound gratitude to the people of Techiman South, promising to dedicate himself to improving their livelihoods and advancing the constituency’s development. “This victory belongs to the people of Techiman South. Together, we will forge ahead and build a brighter future for our constituency,” Korsah stated.
