The Parliamentary Candidate for Dome Kwabenya on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Faustina Elikplim Akurugu, has won the seat.
The Electoral Officer at the Dome Kwabenya collation centre declared her the winner after she defeated Mike Oquaye Jnr to secure the seat previously held by Sarah Adwoa Safo.
Faustina won with 51,634 votes while Mike Oquaye Jnr trailed with 50,477 votes.
This marks the first time the NPP will not represent Dome-Kwabenya in Parliament.
Ms Akurugu’s win is particularly notable after two previous unsuccessful attempts against outgoing MP Sarah Adwoa Safo, who has held the seat since 2012.
