Akyem Edubiase is in the Akyemansa District in the Ofoase Ayirebi region led by the former Minister for Information and Minister for Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.

The MP retained his seat in the 2024 elections for the New Patriotic Party, beating Alfred Osei-Poku of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) by about 5,000 votes.

According to Agya Koo, heaps of sand have gathered along the Akyem Edubiase roads making the stretch narrower.
