The Ningo-Prampram constituency election was set to initially happen on the 21st of November in 2015. However, cases of violence and accusations of these acts led to the elections being postponed to the following Sunday. It seemed that there was growing tension between the two primary aspirants of the seat, who were Samuel George and E.T. Mensah.
When the day of the election finally reached, little had changed in terms of the tension. To further worsen it, there was a deliberate action taken of omitting Mr. George's name from the voters' register. All these were believed to target the aspiring politician and favor the veteran, E.T. Mensah.
In addition to this already created fracas, more was added when the voting process was delayed by three hours. Tension continued to build, and all hell broke loose when E.T. Mensah and Ade Coker authorized military men to go to a community known as Ahwiam to create havoc. However, their efforts were proven futile by the then Tema Regional Police Commander DCOP, Beatrice Sanziri.

Beatrice Sanziri ordered the military to stand down, and they eventually gave in. George won the elections with 23,860 votes out of the 38, 458 total valid votes. His rivals for the Ningo-Prampram constituency seat secured the following votes: Sylvester Tetteh (NPP) 13,588, Casmire Nii Okine Mensah (PPP) 110, Richard A. Nartey (APC) 103, and Fredrick Marmah Martey (CPP) 212.
Five years later, in the 2018/2019 elections and another election was set to happen in this constituency. Like in the previous election, the pal to ET Mensah, Ade Coker, was trying his best to jeopardize Samuel's win. There were also other new candidates vying for the seat, such as the constituency chairman, Mr. Michael Kwetey Tetteh.
There were still several people that were hopeful that the stooge of Mensah would continue through Ade Coker's win. However, the delegates were confident that only Nartey would lead the constituency to its 'promised land.' Sam won the elections. He is still the Member of Parliament of Ningo-Prampram.
