Watch as constituents receive electronics from Dakoa Newman before election loss

In a last-ditch effort to secure votes, Okaikwei South Member of Parliament Dakoa Newman distributed electronic appliances to constituents ahead of the elections.

Videos resurfacing online show her handing out the items, sparking debates on whether such tactics still resonate with voters today.

Despite her high-profile campaign, Newman was defeated, securing 25,263 votes compared to challenger Adomako’s 32,691.

For nearly three decades, the NPP held the constituency, but voters opted for change this time. Newman's strategy to sway undecided voters ultimately fell short, signaling a shift in political dynamics in the region.
