The Bono East Regional Minister, Mr. Kofi Amoakohene, will not return to Parliament after losing the Atebubu-Amanten seat to Mr. Sanja Nanja.
The candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sanja Nanja, who regained the seat obtained 17,588 votes representing 56.86 percent, while Amoakohene obtained 13,169 representing 42.53 percent.
The candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Hennaa Kwaku Abraham, had 175 which represented 0.57%.
The total of valid votes cast was 30,932.
Nanja returns for a second term in Parliament after succeeding Emmanuel Owusu-Mainu in the 2012 parliamentary elections, also on the list of the Democratic National Congress.
He lost the seat to Amoakohene and the NPP after the Atebubu Traditional Council banned him from visiting the Omanhene Palace in 2016.
The City Council banned him for insulting the queen mother of the area during interviews on some FM stations in the country.
