The dice is cast, and some New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament will only stay in the august House for the remaining days until January 6, 2025.
Their failure to secure a return ticket to the legislature forms part of what seems to be a massive shake up of the law-making body after the December 7 elections.
Their defeat, per provisional results released by the Electoral Commission, has come to many as a surprise. Yet others hold the view that it was only a matter of time.
Among the big names that have lost their seats are stalwarts of the NPP in President Akufo-Addo’s government. They are:
- Ursula Owusu-Ekuful – Ablekuma Central
- Andrew Agyapa Mercer – Sekondi
- Hawa Koomson – Awutu Senya East
- Henry Quartey – Ayawaso Central
- Lydia Alhasan – Ayawaso West Wuogon
- John peter Amewu – Hohoe
