Ghana's Awutu Senya East constituency has witnessed a seismic shift in its political landscape, as Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunnor, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate, has claimed a decisive victory over the incumbent MP and Fisheries Minister Mavis Hawa Koomson..

Okunnor's triumph, which saw her secure 50,886 votes, marks a significant milestone for the NDC in this highly contested constituency. Her campaign, centered around addressing critical local concerns, resonated deeply with the electorate, ultimately paving the way for her emergence as the Member of Parliament-elect.

Speaking after the results were declared, Naa Koryoo expressed her gratitude and commitment.

“It has been a hard-fought win for me. Kasoa is now free and will see development under my watch,'' she stated.

The implications of Okunnor's victory extend far beyond the constituency, contributing to the NDC's broader gains in the 2024 general elections. As the dust settles, attention turns to the prospect of renewed political dynamics in Ghana, with the NDC poised to strengthen its position in Parliament.
