Joana Gyan Cudjoe
The National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) candidate in Amenfi Central constituency, Joana Gyan Cudjoe, has become the first female candidate to represent the NDC in the Constituency.
She achieved this feat by winning with 26,345 votes representing 68.53% and this includes sweeping all the New Patriotic Party (NPP) strongholds in the constituency. Her NPP contender, Dr. Albert Wiredu Arkoh, gained 12,096 votes representing 31.47% of total votes cast.
Joana Gyan Cudjoe’s victory can be described as a record breaking feet which was not without its challenges. Just two days before the election, an attempt to place a ban on her contesting was initiated, but ultimately failed to succeed.
Undeterred, Joan Gyan Cudjoe persevered and went on to secure the highest number of votes ever recorded in Amenfi Central history.
As the newly elected Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, and a private business woman, Joan Gyan Cudjoe is expected to make a meaningful impact in the lives of her constituents and bring the much needed development to the area.
The EC has declared John Dramani Mahama as the new President of the Republic of Ghana.
