Voting commenced after several hours of a hold up after the issues were resolved.
The Chief known in private life as Robert Nachinab Mosore polled 11 votes out of 26 votes cast.
His closest contender, Philip Babachuweh polled 7 votes whiles others including Appiah Moses, Francis Apaam, Jacob Kofi Ayeebo polled 2, 0 and 6 respectively.
His election brings to an end the reign of Rev. Dr. Jacob Kofi Ayeebo who represented the upper east region at the council for two terms.
