The Asawase Constituency remains a key stronghold of Ghana's opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), with a population of over one hundred thousand voters.
Encircled by New Patriotic Party (NPP) strongholds like Manhyia South, Manhyia North, Subin, Oforikrom, Kwabre East, and Ejisu, Asawase stands out as a political outlier in the Ashanti Region.
Situated in the Asokore Mampong Municipality-established in 2012 after being carved from the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly - the constituency is predominantly Muslim, with most residents tracing their roots to Northern Ghana.
Akans, meanwhile, represent a minority demographic.
