Who is Amoako Asiamah?
Amoako Asiamah entered the 7th Parliament of Ghana on the ticket of the NPP.
He was re-contested as an independent candidate after the New Patriotic Party expelled him just a few days to the 2020 general elections for his decision to go independent.
His decision, however, paid off as the Fomena constituents gave his decision an overwhelming endorsement by voting for him to win the seat for a second successive time.
In spite of the happenings that characterized his decision, he has chosen to be with his party, the NPP in the house to give it a slender majority even though the party is yet to officially rescind its decision to expel him.
