History and boundaries
Ablekuma West was one of 45 newly created constituencies for the 2012 general election.[1] It covers the districts of Dansoman, Sahara, Gbegbeyise, Agege, Glefe, Opetekwe and Shiabu.[1] Before the 2016 general election, incumbent MP Ursula Owusu was challenged in an NPP primary election by constituency chairman Theophilus Tettey Enyo and businessman Roni Nicole.[2] The primary proved controversial, with disputes over voting registers used[1] resulting in legal challenges by party members[2] and Enyo's withdrawal. Owusu beat Nicole by 554 votes to 317, with up to 400 members reported to have boycotted the contest in protest.[3]
