The New Patriotic Party candidate, Prince Appiah Debrah, got 31,154 votes with the LPG garnering 190 votes.
In 2016, she won with more than 33,000 votes representing 50.29% of the total votes.
She also promised to ensure that the constituency moves from a swing one to a stronghold of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“I believe that NDC will win both the presidential and parliamentary elections in Klottey- Korle. We are really setting the records straight so that it changes from being a swing constituency to an NDC seat,” she said.
