Ernest Yaw Anim of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was declared winner of the by-election occasioned by the death of the late MP in March this year.

The NPP polled 15,264 (70.91%) of valid votes cast as against the National Democratic Congress’ Kwasi Amankwaa who had 3,723 votes (17.29%).

Kwaku Duah, the first independent candidate polled 2478 (11.51%) whiles the second Kwaku Duah got 62 votes (00.29%).

The Electoral Commission lead for the poll made the formal declaration of Anim as winner of the poll and by that the Member of Parliament-elect for the constituency.
