The incumbent Sekondi MP, Andrew Kofi Egyapa Mercer, has lost a fiercely contested election to National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Blay Nyameke Armah.

Blay Nyameke Armah secured 14,558 votes, representing 56.40% of the total valid votes, while Egyapa Mercer, who represented the New Patriotic Party (NPP), garnered 11,084 votes, representing 42.94% of the valid votes cast.

Counting at polling stations have concluded following the closure of polls at 5 p.m. What is left is the declaration of results at constituency collation centres.

The 2024 elections were conducted across 276 constituencies nationwide, with the process being largely peaceful.

However, isolated incidents of violence have been reported, including the confirmation of two deaths in the Tolon Constituency in the Northern Region and Awutu Senya East Constituency in the Central Region.

The Electoral Commission has urged Ghanaians and political parties to exercise patience as it fulfills its mandate of delivering a successful election.
