Quartey, representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP), secured 23,345 votes, falling short of Tubazu’s winning tally of 29,755 votes.
Charles Kwame Adams of the National Democratic Party (NDP) garnered 163 votes, while 287 of the 53,550 ballots cast were rejected as invalid.
The NDC’s triumph in Ayawaso Central forms part of its broader success in the 2024 elections, flipping additional constituencies that had long been NPP strongholds.
