Henry Quartey, the incumbent Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central and Greater Accra Regional Minister, has lost his seat in the constituency. This development comes as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) continues to face challenges nationwide.

Quartey’s loss is significant, given his experience and position within the party. Earlier this year, he expressed concerns about the exit of experienced legislators from Parliament, citing the potential consequences for Ghana as a whole.

The NPP has indeed faced setbacks, with 28 of its MPs losing their seats in the parliamentary primaries held in January. Additionally, 18 NPP MPs had already declared their intent not to seek re-election.

As the election results continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how the NPP will respond to these challenges and how they will impact the party’s overall performance.
