Also on the list of losers are Deputy Majority Chief Whip, George Kuntu Blankson and Minister of State in the Office of the President, Stephen Amanor Quao.
Meanwhile, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa was joined by his colleagues in government to celebrate his win. He told Joy News Sammy Darko hard work won the day.
For Majority Leader in Parliament Cletus Avoka, he said his good works has paid off.
According to Youth and Sports Minister, Kofi Humado his appointment as a Minister did the trick.

MP and candidate-elect for Asawase, Alhaji Muntaka Mubarak says it has been a very difficult election.
