The seat is currently occupied by Mrs. Mercy Adu-Gyamfi popularly known as Ama Sey, a hairdresser who humiliated opposition National Democratic Congress’ Mohammed Baba Jamal in the 2016 election.
Ama Sey who attended Presby Middle School in Akwatia in the year 1988 and obtained Middle School Leaving Certificate (MSLC) is believed to be popular owing to her good human relations with her constituents.
Beside her hairdressing business, she was a managing director of Amasey Pharmacy, in Kade, in the Eastern Region.
She serves on the Committee on Employment and social welfare in parliament.
