Mr. Frimpong, on behalf of the newly elected PMs, thanked the new executives for the confidence reposed in them to lead the conference for the next two years.

According to him, they would do their best to promote the welfare of the members in the best interest of the conference. The newly elected Executives “I can assure you that we will not disappoint you but we need your support to succeed,’’ he indicated.

Mr. Frimpong said their immediate task is to ensure the implementation of an appreciable End of Service Benefits to Assembly members in Greater Kumasi.

“We’re going to be an effective mouthpiece of the conference to bring honour to me, electoral areas, KMA and Asanteman. We shall also advocate the development of the entire Assembly,” he said.

He stressed the need for the members to continue to unite. With regard to the forthcoming 2024 elections, he appealed to politicians to stop the politicization of election of PMs in the various assemblies who are yet to elect their PMs.
