John Kobina Abbam Aboah Sanie, the incumbent Member of Parliament for Mpohor, has lost his seat to Bentil Godfred Henry of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in a decisive victory.
Sanie, representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP), garnered 8,299 votes, while Bentil Godfred Henry secured 11,680 votes, marking a significant shift in the constituency’s parliamentary representation.
This outcome underscores the competitive nature of the 2024 elections, with the NDC making gains in several constituencies traditionally held by the NPP.
In Sekondi, Andrew Kofi Egyapa Mercer, the incumbent Member of Parliament, has been defeated in a closely contested election by Blay Nyameke Armah of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Egyapa Mercer, representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP), garnered 11,084 votes, representing 42.94% of the total valid votes, while Blay Nyameke Armah secured 14,558 votes, corresponding to 56.40%.
Out of the 25,813 votes cast, 171 ballots were rejected.
This marks a significant shift in the Sekondi parliamentary seat, as Egyapa Mercer had previously dominated in the 2016 elections.
During that election, he won decisively, polling 16,839 votes, or 59.47% of the total valid votes, against Emmanuel Assifuah of the NDC and candidates from the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) and Convention People’s Party (CPP).
Blay Nyameke Armah’s victory signals a strong showing for the NDC in the constituency and reflects a broader trend of keenly contested parliamentary races in the 2024 elections.
