The current member of Parliament for the constituency is Frank Asiedu Bekoe.

[2][3] The constituency has elected four members of parliament since 1996, with Frederick Opare-Ansah being the longest serving MP ever in the constituency, while, Solomon Kodjoe Akwetey, Ransford Agyapong and Kwadjo Asante have had a single term each.

The voting pattern took a drastic shift from being an NDC populated constituency in 1996 to becoming a more NPP aligned constituency from the 2000 Ghanaian general election to date.

The Suhum constituency among many others was declared as a flashpoint during the 2024 Ghanaian general election for its history of multiple incidents of politically motivated violence.

The constituency is seen as a potential hotspot for pre-election violence, especially as rivalries spill into the broader community.
