Eric Nana Agyemang-Prempeh

Eric Nana Agyemang-Prempeh is a Ghanaian disaster management administrator and politician born on 5 March 1974 in Tepa in the Ashanti Region, who serves as the Member of Parliament for the Ahafo Ano North constituency. A member of the New Patriotic Party who won the seat in December 2024 through a court-mandated re-collation process, he brings extensive experience in district-level governance and national disaster management to his first term in Parliament as part of the NPP's minority bench in the Ninth Parliament.

Education and professional career

He holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Wrexham in Wales, a postgraduate management qualification obtained from a UK university that complements his career in public administration. Before entering parliamentary politics, he served as the District Chief Executive for the Ahafo Ano North District, a local government executive position that gave him direct authority over development planning, administrative management and public service delivery in the district he now represents in Parliament. He subsequently served as Director-General of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), a national-level executive appointment that placed him in charge of Ghana's principal agency for the coordination of responses to natural and man-made disasters, including flood management, droughts, fire outbreaks and other emergency situations. His NADMO leadership gave him a nationwide operational perspective on resilience, emergency preparedness and the institutional coordination that effective disaster response requires.

2024 election

He contested the Ahafo Ano North constituency in the December 2024 general election on the NPP ticket. As with several other constituencies in that cycle, the initial results were disputed and the Electoral Commission conducted a High Court-ordered re-collation on 21 December 2024, which confirmed his victory with 20,353 votes. He assumed office on 7 January 2025. Since entering Parliament he has been vocal on constitutional matters, pushing for reforms that he argues are necessary to strengthen the legal framework governing Parliament's relationship with the executive.

Political Legacy

Eric Nana Agyemang-Prempeh's combination of district executive experience, national-level NADMO leadership and a UK MBA gives him one of the more substantial administrative portfolios of any first-term NPP MP in the Ninth Parliament. His entry via a court-mandated re-collation underlines the contested nature of constituency politics in the Ashanti Region's boundary constituencies.
