She secured 17 votes out of 66 votes cast in an election with 24 candidates.
Ahead of the polls, many political pundits had predicted a strong contest between the party’s former regional chairman, John Owusu Amankwah, Nana Afia Effah Asantewaa Afrifa (a Queenmother and former Board Chairman of the Ghana Tourism Authority), and Seth Adjei Baah, popularly known as SHABA.
