The Electoral Commission (EC) has declared the request for the creation of the Bono East Region successful, based on the outcome of the referendum held in the area.
The declaration was made by Mr James Arthur Yeboah, the Returning Officer.
Four hundred and forty-eight thousand, five hundred and forty-five (448,545) out of the 450,812 voters, who turned out to vote in the referendum, said “Yes”, representing 99.5 per cent of the total votes cast.
The “No” votes numbered 1,384 and that translates into 0.3 percent.
Rejected ballots totalled 883, which represented 0.2 per cent.
There are 525,275 registered voters in the area and the turnout was 85.82 per cent, which was over and above the constitutional threshold of 50 per cent.

1. Fifty percent (50%) of the total valid voters must vote on the day of election. 2. Out of the valid voters who will vote, 80% must vote YES before the region can be obtained. So it is 50% attendance and 80% voting YES
Please, I need education. Is the percentage for "Yes" or "No" calculated based on the total ballot cast or the total valid votes cast? I need help.
Hei Ghana geography teachers, tomorrow show the children the new Ghana map drawn by Nana. In your terminal questions, ask, who created the six regions? The correct answer is Nana. Teach the children from Volta south the new Ghana map. Especially those fro the Akpafu or whatever you called. ***barred word***
This is what we all wanted to hear and see, not what was happening within the INWARD- LOOKING people
Nana Akuffo Addo map in the making. We are so lucky to see the new generation under Akuffo Addo becoming well learned and getting development in every corner in Ghana. What a good leader indeed. Keep it up NPP kUKRUDU
