APlus, John Dumelo, Three Other Popular But New Faces Who May Be Joining The Next Parliament

Ghana's 2024 general election has been a fierce battle between the incumbent NPP and its opponent, NDC.

Surprise wins and heartbreaking defeats have characterised the contest. According to provisional results, the NDC is leading the presidential elections, with former President John Dramani Mahama amassing the majority of the votes.

The NPP also lost the majority of its seats in the parliamentary elections. However, some new faces have popped up in various constituencies nationwide.
