Mr Francis Asenso-Boakye, the incumbent NPP Member of Parliament for Bantama, has retained his seat.
He polled 47,275, out of the 55,546 total valid votes cast, representing 85.11 per cent, to beat his main contender, Mr Simeon Addai Dapaah of the NDC, who secured 8,023 votes, representing 14.44 percent.
This will be Mr. Asenso-Boakye’s second term in parliament after he was elected in the 2020 general elections.
Mr. Bernard Ofori Amanfo, the Returning Officer of the Bantama Constituency Parliamentary Elections, who announced the results said 248 votes cast constituting 0.45 percent were rejected.
He noted that, out of the 84,957 people expected to vote in the constituency, 55,661 came out to cast their votes in the 175 polling stations across the constituency.
This represented 65.4 percent turn-out in the constituency.
The Bantama constituency is one of the strongholds of the NPP in the Ashanti Region and had always retained the seat in every election it had contested.
