The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ahanta West Constituency has congratulated Mr Ebenezer Kojo Kum for his nomination as the Minister-designate for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs.

The NPP Constituency Chairman for the Ahanta West, Mr Anthony Nketsia Kofie stated that the youth and people of the constituency are committed to working with the Minister-designate and to provide any assistance needed to enable him to work to fulfil the purposes of the party and government.

"On behalf of the entire membership of the party, I wish to congratulate you for your nomination and we wish you well as you go through the various processes to assume full responsibility of your office", he opined.

He expressed the optimism that Mr Kum's new appointment would create greater opportunities for the youth to motivate them to do more for the party to retain power in election 2024.

Mr Kofie also commended the Western Regional Executives and the National Executives of the party for the confidence reposed in Mr Kum by ensuring his nomination for the position and indicated that their efforts would not be undermined. GNA JP/LAA
