The difference was only 35 votes. In cental Baddibu the UDP got 3192 votes in 1997 while APRC polled 2298 votes. The difference was 894 votes in favour of the UDP. I should have send the results earlier but because i was so busy that i could not do it on time...but all the same i hope the results will be of some little benefit to you. The pattern of voting in the by-election is food for thought and i can't agree with Saul more that the APRC has gained considerable grounds in both constituencies than the UDP. E Sillah. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
