The Electoral Commission (EC) has indicated that it will conduct elections in certain areas where ties were recorded during the just-ended District Level Elections (DLE).

The elections will be held on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at all the polling stations in the electoral areas.

According to the EC, 20 electoral areas produced the same results for assembly members.

It added that the unit committee race recorded the same results in 41 other electoral areas.

In a statement signed by the Acting Head of Public Affairs at the Electoral Commission, Michael Boadu, the EC said, “As a result, there will be the need to conduct run-off elections in these areas to break the ties to determine the winners in these electoral areas.”

Some of the electoral areas include Volta Region [Legba-Klikpko], Eastern Region [Akwamufie, Awosoase], Bono [Adantia], Bono East [Bonya], Ashanti Region [Effiduase West], Konya-Brehoma, among others.
