The New Patriotic Party(NPP) Parliamentary candidate of the Akuapim North, Sammi Awuku, has emerged victorious in the 2024 election.
The Director General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) secured a commanding 28,365 votes, defeating his main contender, John Evans Kumordzi of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who garnered 14,217 votes.
Mr Awuku’s victory makes him one of the relatively few NPP parliamentary candidates who won their seats in the keenly contested election.
Ahead of the election, Mr Awuku was confident about the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s decisive win and the party security majority parliamentary seats.
He had stated he would be surprise if the NPP wins less than I45 parliamentary seats, emphasising they would adopt a strategy the NDC will never understand.
The former National Youth Organiser of the NPP, succeeds incumbent MP, Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah who lost the election after contesting in the Okaikwei North.
