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.

In the recent video, the Kumawood actor argued that the current state of the particular stretch and other roads in the area is hazardous to drivers and urged authorities to swiftly attend to the situation before the worst happens.
