Prior to the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections, one of the safest seats of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was the Wenchi Constituency, the home to one of the founder fathers of the party, Dr Kofi Abrefa Busia.
Aside from the 1992 parliamentary election which the NPP boycotted, all Members of Parliament in the constituency have been from the NPP. Mr Musa Bamba was MP for the constituency from 1996 to 2004, after which Professor George Yaw Gyan- Baffour took over from 2004 to 2020.
However, in the 2020 elections, the country witnessed one of the biggest tsunamis in its political history as Alhaji Haruna Seidu of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) garnered 26,068 votes to unseat the incumbent NPP Member of Parliament for the area, Professor Gyan-Baffour (NPP), who had 23,102 votes.
