Notes

  • ^e The largest winning majority in the 2016 election of 58,084 was by Francisca Oteng-Mensah of the NPP in the Kwabre East constituency of the Ashanti Region. The other constituencies with majorities greater than 50,000 are all in the Ashanti Region. They are Kwadaso where Samiu Kwadwo Nuamah of the NPP had a margin of 55,386 and Suame where Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu also of the NPP had a winning majority of 54,443.[19]
  • ^f The smallest winning majority of just 12 votes was by Kofi Essuah Michael Stephen Ackah of the NDC in the Suaman constituency in the Western Region. Since the creation of new regions in December 2018, it is now located within the Western North Region.
