The newly elected Member of Parliament for Ejisu, Kwabena Boateng has been sworn in by Parliament.
The solemn oath-taking event, presided over by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, took place during the emergency sitting on Friday, May 17, 2024.
This emergency sitting was facilitated by the Majority, who had called for the recall of the house, leading to Mr Boateng’s official induction into office.
Mr Boateng’s ascension to the parliamentary seat follows a by-election organized by the Electoral Commission after the untimely passing of the former MP for the region, John Kumah, on March 7.
In the by-election held on Tuesday, April 30, Mr Boateng secured victory with a commanding lead, amassing 27,782 votes, which constituted 55.79% of the total ballots cast. His nearest contender, Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, a former MP for the area running as an independent candidate, trailed behind with 21,536 votes, representing 43.24% of the vote share.
