He polled 14,558 out of the 25,642 total valid votes to beat the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP), Mr Andrew Egyapa Mercer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who had 11,084 votes.
The total votes cast was 25,818 out of an expected 41,634, with 176 as rejected ballots.
The Sekondi seat was first won by Mr Albert Bosomtwi-Sam of the NDC in 1992 but switched to the NPP in 1996 by Papa Owusu-Ankomah, who occupied the seat for 20 years.
Mr Mercer took over in 2016 and went for his second term in 2020.
However, in the just-ended 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, Mr Nyameke made history by snatching the seat, which was considered a safe one for the NPP.
His victory was met by wild jubilation by the people of Sekondi who took to the streets to express their happiness and delight for electing him as the next MP for the area.
In his victory speech, Mr Nyameke expressed gratitude to his party members, supporters and constituents for the confidence reposed in him to represent them in Parliament.
He said: “One thing that I want to tell the people of Sekondi is that this win is for all of us, and we are going to rebuild Sekondi together.”
