Yaw Obimpeh elected Ashanti Regional representative on the Council of State

Date:

Mr. Yaw Owusu Obimpeh, a former Ashanti Regional Chair of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has been elected as the Ashanti Regional Representative on the Council of State in a fiercely contested election in Kumasi.

He polled 49 votes to defeat his closest contender, Nana Nkansah Boadu Ayeboafo who garnered 35 votes with Daniel Anarfi Yamoah securing one vote.

Following the exercise’s disruption last week by unidentified thugs who invaded the election center, there was heavy security at the Prempeh Assembly Hall, the venue for the re-run.

Roads leading to the precincts of the Prempeh Assembly Hall were closed to the public as part of measures to prevent another disruption of the process.

Six people were arrested by their police for their involvement in disturbances outside the venue.

There was wild jubilation among supporters of the NDC after it became clear their former Chair had emerged victorious.
