With the NPP and NDC equally having he same number of seats, the kingmaker will be the only independent candidate who happens to be the Fomena MP.
Lawyer Andrew Amoako Assiamah beats all odds to win the almighty Fomena seat which was one of the most wanted constituency to watch in the 2020 election.

According to close sources, he opted for some positions in the next Akufo Addo’s government.
The NPP also needed his support in the 8th Parliament to form the majority.
Today, as the 8th Parliament vote to elect the Speaker, his vote will decide who becomes the Speaker.
Lawyer Andrew has said he will always support his party no matter what and that statement will still ring a bell in the minds of Ghanaians, so definitely the NPP’s candidate for Speaker will emerge victorious.
