The confirmation voting  was attended by the member of Paliament for the area , Ms Queenster Pokuah Sawyerr,  heads of departments, MMDCEs, NDC party supporters and sympathisers, as well as relations of the nominee.

He was later sworn in by His Worship Isaac Apeatu, the Presiding Judge of the Agona Swedru Magistrate’s Court.
