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.

"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.

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
