Former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Yaw Owusu Obimpeh has emerged victorious in the Ashanti Regional Council of State election, securing a decisive win with 49 votes.

The election results, announced on Monday, February 17, 2025, revealed that Obimpeh led the race with a significant margin.

Nkansah Boadu Nana Ayeboafo received 35 votes, while Daniel Anarfi Yamoah garnered only 1 vote. None of the other candidates received any votes.

Out of the expected 86 votes, a total of 85 valid votes were cast, with no rejected ballots. The results reflect a strong endorsement of Yaw Owusu Obimpeh’s candidacy by the electorate in the Ashanti Region.

Obimpeh’s election comes after the suspension of the first election last week following a chaos that ensued during the process.
