General News of Monday, 18 December 2017Source: Graphic.com.ghCourt endorses Gyato as winner of Krachi West SeatMichael Yaw Gyato is MP Krachi West ConstituencyThe electoral dispute over Krachi West Constituency has come to an end with a Ho High Court declaring the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Mr Michael Yaw Gyato, as the winner of the 2016 parliamentary election. The court ordered the registrar of the court to furnish the Electoral Commission (EC) with a copy of the judgement to certify Mr Gyato as the MP for the area. Some party sympathisers who had thronged the court to support Mr Gyato, who is also the Deputy Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, carried him high to signify victory. For the other five, the court observed that the inconsistencies that occurred were mere entry and arithmetic mistake, which did not prove any over voting. The judge did not, however, rule out the fact that the petitioner might have a case even if his agents failed to raise issues.
