Ghana’s opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) now has 137 seats in Parliament after being declared winner of the controversial Sene West seat in the Bono East region on Thursday.
The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) also has 137 seats but have a slim majority after the only independent MP-elect of Fomena opted to sit with them in the eighth parliament after the 7 December elections.
Sene West in the bag. Techiman South is next. We are very much on course to confirm an NDC Parliamentary Majority which is the decision of the people.
