The Suhum constituency is in the Eastern region of Ghana with the town Suhum as its capital. The current member of Parliament for the constituency is Frank Asiedu Bekoe. He was elected on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The constituency has elected six members of parliament since 1992, with Frederick Opare-Ansah being the longest serving MP ever in the constituency, while Immanuel Obeng-Darko, Solomon Kodjoe Akwetey, Ransford Agyapong and Kwadjo Asante have had a single term each.
The voting pattern took a drastic shift from being an NDC populated constituency in 1992 to becoming a more NPP aligned constituency from the 2000 Ghanaian general election to date.
The Suhum constituency among many others was declared as a flashpoint during the 2024 Ghanaian general election for its history of multiple incidents of politically motivated violence. The constituency is seen as a potential hotspot for pre-election violence, especially as rivalries spill into the broader community.
The Suhum Constituency is one of the 276 constituencies represented in Ghana's parliament. It shares common boundaries with Ayensuano (Ghana parliament constituency) in the south-west, Akuapem North (Ghana parliament constituency) in the South-east, New Juaben North (Ghana parliament constituency) in the North-east and Akim Abuakwa South (Ghana parliament constituency) in the North-west.
