Hon Mercer, expressed his appreciation to the Nana Addo's Government and the good people of Sekondi Constituency for the key roles they have played in developing the Constituency. He asked for the continued support and prayers of his constituents to enable him work closely with the Executive arm of the Nana Addo led Government to ensure the execution of more key developmental projects in the constituency for the benefit of all.
