An Accra High Court presided over by Mrs. Justice Agnes Dordzie, yesterday quashed the 1996 parliamentary election results declared in the Ayawaso West-Wuogon constituency. It gave the ruling in the case in which Mr. George Isaac Amoo, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary, challenged the basis for the compilation of the results which declared Mrs. Rebecca Adotey, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, the winner. The court also quashed Gazette Number 56 of December 19, 1996, which contained the name of Mrs. Adotey. It ordered the Electoral Commission (EC) to assemble, collect and collate the results of all polling stations and the correct total votes cast for each candidate who contested the parliamentary election the Ayawaso West-Wuogon constituency on December 7, 1996.
