Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi

Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi is a Ghanaian lawyer, academic and politician born on 12 April 1962 who serves as the Member of Parliament for the Asante-Akim Central constituency in the Ashanti Region. A member of the New Patriotic Party who has represented the constituency since 2009 and is one of the longest-serving NPP MPs in the Ashanti Region, he combines professional careers in legal practice and academic teaching with multi-term parliamentary service in a constituency at the heart of the Asante-Akim cultural and historical landscape.

Professional background

Anyimadu-Antwi has built dual careers as a lawyer and a lecturer. His legal practice gives him professional grounding in law as an instrument of dispute resolution, governance and rights protection, while his lecturing career reflects an academic dimension to his professional engagement that has given him exposure to both the intellectual development of students and the institutional life of Ghanaian tertiary education. The combination of courtroom practice and academic teaching is unusual in parliamentary life but gives him a public service profile that spans both the legal profession and the university sector.

Parliamentary career

He was first elected to represent Asante-Akim Central in the 2008 general election, taking office in January 2009, and has been re-elected in 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024, making him a five-term MP by the time the Ninth Parliament convened. His unbroken parliamentary service across five elections reflects the depth of his support in a constituency in the Asante-Akim Central District of the Ashanti Region, an area whose communities are connected to the historical Asante-Akim traditional state and whose economy combines cocoa farming, commerce and the services provided by the constituency's main town of Konongo. He retains the Asante-Akim Central seat as part of the NPP's minority bench in the Ninth Parliament.

Political Legacy

Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi's five-term parliamentary tenure in Asante-Akim Central, spanning from 2009 through the Ninth Parliament, makes him one of the NPP's most durable constituency representatives in the Ashanti Region. His dual careers in law and academic teaching give his long service a professional grounding that extends beyond party politics into the intellectual and legal life of the communities he represents.
