In the end, the Fomena MP expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his colleagues as they honored him on his 56th birthday.

The Independent Member of Parliament (MP) for the Fomena Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, was elected the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament on January 7.

He serves alongside Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin and First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei-Owusu, in the 8th Parliament of the 4th Republic.

Mr Amoako was a Member of Parliament of the NPP in the 7th Parliament but was banned from the Party prior to the December 7, 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections. That compelled him to contest the parliamentary elections last year as an independent candidate, winning in the end.
