The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, on Tuesday, June 6, 2023, swore in Ernest Yaw Anim as the Member of Parliament for the Kumawu constituency.
This followed the Electoral Commission’s certification of Anim as the elected MP for Kumawu, with 15,264 votes in a by-election conducted on May 23, 2023.
