Speaker of Parliament, Alban S.K. Bagbin, has sworn in the newly elected member for Ejisu, Kwabena Boateng.
The solemn oath-taking event took place during an emergency sitting on Friday, May 17, 2024.
The Majority facilitated this emergency sitting, calling for the recall of the house to officially induct Mr. Boateng 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.
