In a strong show of unity and support ahead of the upcoming by-election, Ambassador Edward Boateng on Tuesday August 19, 2025, led a high-powered (NPP) delegation to Akwatia to campaign for the party's parliamentary candidate, Solomon Asumadu.
Ambassador Edward Boateng was joined by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, former Minister of Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah and former running mate and Minister of Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, along with several other senior party officials and regional executives.
The visit began with a moment of reflection, as the delegation expressed heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the late Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Ernest Kumi.
His untimely passing was described as a deep loss not only to the constituency but to the entire NPP family. "Hon Ernest Kumi served Akwatia with dedication and purpose," said Ambassador Edward Boateng. "It is now our responsibility to honor his legacy by continuing the work he started and ensuring that Akwatia does not lose momentum on its path to development." The team toured key parts of the constituency, including a walk through the Akwatia market, where they engaged traders and residents in a vibrant show of grassroots mobilization.
