In a cryptic Facebook post on Saturday, December 14, 2024, the MP thanked her constituents and expressed her readiness to embrace the next chapter of her life.  

"Thank you, Ablekuma West!! Sayonara….Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to serve. Next chapter in my life unfolding, so let’s see what He has in store for me. Looking into the future with confidence," she wrote.  

Representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP), she lost her seat to Rev. Kweku Addo of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in a closely contested race. Rev. Addo secured 31,866 votes, while Ursula Owusu-Ekuful garnered 26,575 votes. 

During her tenure, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful served as Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, where she championed Ghana’s digital transformation agenda and spearheaded major initiatives aimed at improving connectivity and digital infrastructure.  

Post-election attack  

In the wake of the election, an attack occurred at her office and residence on Monday, December 9, 2024. 

A group of about 15 men reportedly stormed the premises, vandalising property and stealing items, including a branded Nissan Hardbody vehicle, three brand-new motorbikes, a 32-inch Samsung television, a printer, mobile phones, food supplies, two stabilisers, and an undisclosed amount of cash. They also destroyed CCTV cameras, barbed wire, and the office door.  

The police have since recovered the stolen Nissan pickup and launched investigations to apprehend the culprits. 

Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful’s defeat to the NDC’s Rev. Kweku Addo marked the halt of her parliamentary career, which began in 2012.
