PoliticsAkwatia: Ghana’s Swing Constituency and Three Decades of Electoral Drama (1992–2025)

Akwatia, Ghana’s diamond town, has become the country’s most unpredictable swing constituency. From unopposed wins in 1992, to Baba Jamal’s repeated defeats, Ama Sey’s shock victory in 2016, a “skirt and blouse” outcome in 2020, and a by-election upset in 2025 — every race has mirrored the nation’s political mood. For three decades, Akwatia has shown that no party owns its loyalty.
