The electoral officer at the Dome Kwabenya collation centre declared Akurugu the winner after she secured 51,634 votes, narrowly surpassing Oquaye Jnr, who garnered 50,477 votes.

The seat, previously held by Sarah Adwoa Safo, has now flipped to the NDC in a closely contested race.

The election was marred by tension and conflict between supporters of both parties, with accusations of attempts to undermine the electoral process.
