Accra, Dec. 12, GNA - The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has congratulated His Excellency John Dramani Mahama on his election as President of Ghana.

Wa, Dec.12, GNA – Normal business has resumed after the presidential and parliamentary elections with people are going about their normal activities without any hindrance.No serious incidents occurred in the region and the fears entertained by many could not be sustained as the elections has been described as the most peaceful and orderly ever conducted in the area.A noticeable feature however was the ‘skirt and blouse’ pattern of voting in electing Members of Parliament and the preference for the President. In many instances too, some of the Members of the Parliament retained their positions by merely ridding on the shoulders of their party or perhaps the goodwill of the President-elect John Dramani Mahama.Indeed as the results portrayed, the elected representatives need to work harder than before to meet the aspirations and needs of the people so as to win the confidence reposed in them else they could also be ushered out by 2016.The skirt and blouse voting was so dominant in constituencies such as the Wa Central, Wa East, Wa West, Jirapa and Nadowli/Kaleo and the Members of Parliament in those constituencies need to pay attention to the actual needs of their constituents.Here are the Presidential results in the region:Wa Central                    NDC
