Former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw Owusu Obimpeh, has secured a resounding victory in the Ashanti Regional Council of State election, obtaining 49 votes.

The announcement, made on Monday, February 17, 2025, revealed that Obimpeh led by a considerable margin. Nkansah Boadu Nana Ayeboafo received 35 votes, while Daniel Anarfi Yamoah received a single vote. No votes were cast for the other candidates.

Out of 86 anticipated votes, 85 were valid, with no ballots rejected. This result indicates a strong backing for Obimpeh from voters in the Ashanti Region.

The election follows the suspension of an earlier vote last week after disruptions occurred during the initial election process.
