The National Democratic Congress (NDC), over the weekend, held constituency elections across the country to elect executives to lead the party at the constituency level for the next four years.
The exercise, although largely successful, witnessed pockets of violence, standoff, no elections and smooth processes as reported in some of the constituencies.
In all, a total of 354,708 delegates were expected to cast their votes to elect the new constituency executives. The delegates comprise branch, constituency, regional executives and former government appointees.
