Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye (born 11 June 1965)[1] is a Ghanaian sports journalist and politician and the current Member of Parliament of the Odododiodio constituency.

Vanderpuye was quite confident about his chances of winning, famously stating in November 2012 that if he got less than 65% of the vote, he would concede the seat to Okaikoi.

[8] In the end, Vanderpuye won by a smaller landslide than expected, with 45,967 votes (63%) against 26,269 (36%) for Okaikoi and 745 (1%) for Emmanuel Odoi of the Convention People's Party.

These frequent turnovers hinder members from gaining the experience needed to effectively advance parliamentary work.

[16][17] After a ministerial reshuffle in 2015, Vanderpuye was named by John Dramani Mahama as Minister of Youth and Sports to replace Dr. Mustapha Ahmed.
