Election 2024: Ursula Owusu-Ekuful Falls to NDC's Rev. Kweku Addo

In a surprise upset, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Ghana's Communications Minister and Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, has lost her seat in the country's just-concluded general elections. The defeat marks a significant blow to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Rev. Kweku Addo, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, emerged victorious with 31,866 votes, while Owusu-Ekuful trailed behind with 26,575 votes. The win is seen as a major shift in the constituency's political landscape, which has historically been a stronghold for the NPP.

Rev. Addo's victory is attributed to his grassroots campaign, which focused on addressing local concerns and promoting economic empowerment. His win is also seen as a testament to the NDC's efforts to regain support in the region.
