He added that this step was critical to ensuring effective administration and development within the municipality.

The election was conducted under the supervision of the Ahafo Regional Electoral Officer, Mr. Emmanuel Kyei. A 20-minute nomination window was opened, during which Hon. Isaac Kusi Amponsah was the sole candidate to file for the position.

In the subsequent election, Hon. Kusi Amponsah secured all 56 votes, meeting the constitutional requirement of a two-thirds majority and confirming his election as Presiding Member.

In his acceptance speech, Hon. Isaac Kusi Amponsah expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Assembly Members and stakeholders for their trust and support.

“Our mission as an Assembly demands unity and active participation. I encourage all Hon. Members to commit to the development agenda by contributing meaningfully to discussions and decisions that affect our people,” he said.

The election marks a significant step in positioning the Tano South Assembly for effective governance and accelerated development.
