Her contender, Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie of the New Patriotic Party, polled 33,881 votes.
There were a total of 411 rejected ballots.
Friday’s rerun was largely peaceful except pockets of violence recorded in some polling stations, including an alleged assault on Madam Mavis Hawa Koomson, a former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, a journalist with GH One Television.
The Police have since interdicted the Police officer allegedl to have assaulted the journalist.
