The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the Asante Mampong Constituency in the Ashanti region, Kwaku Ampratum-Sarpong, has been re-elected as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the upcoming December 7 general election.

The Asante Mampong constituency parliamentary primary faced a temporary suspension due to a court injunction challenging the credibility of the constituency album intended for use in the election conducted on January 27, 2024, nationwide.

The resolution of the issue in court, facilitated by the party’s general secretary, Justin Frimpong Koduah, led to the fixing of a new election date on February 17, 2024.

The closely contested election featured a competition between the former Ashanti Regional Communications Director, Denis Kwakwa, and the incumbent Member of Parliament and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kwaku Ampratum-Sarpong.

Following the contest, the incumbent MP secured a comfortable 555 votes, while his contender, Denis Kwakwa, managed 167 out of the total 727 votes cast, with 5 votes rejected. Despite expectations favoring the former Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer, the incumbent MP emerged victorious in the election.
