Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been declared the winner of the just-ended Ayawaso East by-election.
This comes after he secured 10,884 votes, representing 63 percent of ballots cast, to claim the seat.
The election, held on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, across 113 polling centres in the Greater Accra Region, recorded a low turnout of 16,928 voters out of approximately 50,000 registered voters.
His closest challenger, Baba Ali Yusif of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), obtained 4,009 votes representing 23 percent.
Independent candidate Mohammed Umar Sanda placed third with 1,885 votes, while Ibrahim Iddrisu of the Liberal People’s Party (LPG) received 43 votes, and independent candidate David Kanor got 104 votes.
The by-election was necessitated by the death of Nasser Toure Mahama, the sitting Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East, who passed away in January 2026.
Baba Jamal is expected to be sworn into Parliament by Speaker Alban Bagbin at the next sitting of the House.
