He lost his seat in the general elections held on 7 December 2008 to Armah Kofi Buah of the NDC.
He was a member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), but resigned to join the New Patriotic Party[1] after being criticized by some CPP stalwarts for not campaigning for the CPP flagbearer Paa Kwesi Nduom, instead endorsing the NPP’s presidential candidate then, Nana Akufo-Addo.
