The people of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi, and Likpe (SALL) traditional areas, constituting the Guan Constituency in the Oti Region, have finally secured representation in Parliament.
The area, which was denied representation in the 2020 general elections, has elected Fred Agbenyo of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as the first-ever Member of Parliament (MP) for the area.
The former National Communication Officer of the NDC secured 9,963 out of 13,164 valid votes cast, leaving his closest contender, Michael Osibo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), with 2,998 votes.
In the presidential race, John Dramani Mahama, the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, polled 10,603 votes, while Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP obtained 2,103 votes. Other candidates, including Daniel Augustus Lartey (GCPP), Christian Kwabena Andrews (GUM), and several independents, received minimal support.
The Guan Constituency, covering an expansive 1,722 square kilometers, is a thriving agricultural hub.
