Lawyer Amoako Andrew Asiamah has won the parliamentary seat in the Fomena Constituency in the Adansi North District after the provisional results.

The Independent candidate garnered 12, 805 votes against Philip Ofori Asante of the NPP’s 10,798.

Honourable Amoako Andrew Asiamah contested for the New Patriotic Party in 2016 but lost the parliamentary primaries to Philip Ofori Asante. His decision to contest for the parliamentary candidate due to inconsistencies during the primaries was frowned at by Party Executives following General Secretary of the NPP, Mr John Boadu's statement on October 13, 2020, that by going as an independent candidate, Mr Asiamah had forfeited his membership of the party per the Article 3(9) of the party’s constitution.
