In a surprising twist, the Okaikwei South Constituency has voted out its incumbent Member of Parliament, Dakoa Newman, despite her high-profile campaign that included distributing electronic items to residents.

Videos of Newman handing out electronic appliances as part of her re-election efforts have resurfaced online fueling debates about whether such tactics still work in modern politics.

For nearly three decades, the NPP held a tight grip on Okaikwei South, but this year, the voters decided it was time for a change. Adomako won decisively with 32,691 votes, leaving Newman trailing with 25,263.

Hon. Newman’s actions have been perceived by some as an attempt to sway undecided voters but unfortunately, she failed.
