Armah-Kofi Buah wins Ellembelle parliamentary seat for the fifth term

The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ellembelle constituency in the Western Region, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has retained the Ellembelle parliamentary seat for the fifth term.

Armah-Kofi Buah defeated the then CPP's MP, Freddie Blay, in 2008 to secure his first victory, and since then, he has been retaining the seat for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Going into this year's parliamentary election, the Ellembelle NPP parliamentary candidate, who is also the Ellembelle DCE, Kwasi Bonzoh, promised to defeat Armah-Kofi Buah.

Kwasi Bonzoh was captured on record saying, "Armah-Kofi Buah is Mugabe in Ellembelle, but he has done nothing in Ellembelle. He has wasted the 16 years as Ellembelle MP, so this time around I'm going to defeat him."

But at the end of the elections in Ellembelle, Armah-Kofi Buah secured a resounding victory by polling 32,281 votes to beat his two main contenders. The Ellembelle DCE and Ellembelle NPP parliamentary candidates got 18,608 votes, and the Ellembelle PPP parliamentary candidate managed to get 132 votes.

The margin between Armah-Kofi Buah and Kwasi Bonzoh is 13,673 votes.

The total valid votes cast were 51,453, and 425 ballot papers were rejected.

Ellembelle constituency has 161 polling stations, and the EC officials in Ellembelle announced the certified results at 3:35 pm on Sunday, December 8, 2024.
