Ghana Election: Henry Quartey Loses Ayawaso Central Seat As NPP Continues To Crumble Nationwide

Henry Quartey, the incumbent Ayawaso Central MP, has been defeated by Abdul Rauf Tongym Tubazu of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 parliamentary elections.

According to provisional results, Quartey of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) received 23,345 votes.

Graphic Online reported that Tubazu garnered 29,755 votes to secure his win over the two-time MP.

Charles Kwame Adams of the National Democratic Party (NDP) received a total of 163 votes. Among the 53,550 votes cast, 287 ballots were deemed invalid.

Quartey had courted controversy ahead of the polls after the interior ministry, which he heads, closed Ghana's land borders until December 8.

This result leans into the trend of flipped seats in the 2024 election.

For example, in Mpohor, Henry Godfred Bentil of the NDC defeated the incumbent MP, John Kobina Abbam Aboah Sanie.

In Sekondi, Blay Nyameke Armah of the NDC defeated incumbent Andrew Egyapa Mercer.
