Commenting on the reshuffle, Mr Kodua Frimpong said the NPP is happy about the changes made by President Akufo-Addo.

“The leadership is pleased to express gratitude and appreciation to the President for his decisive government reshuffle, which includes the appointment of new Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), Ministers, and Deputy Ministers.”

He urged the newly appointed members of government to bring on their A-game.

“To the incoming appointees, we extend our congratulation message and warmest wishes. As they assume new responsibilities, we urge them to bring forth innovative ideas and unwavering dedication to serve the good people of Ghana.

Their contributions would be instrumental in propelling our party and government to a historic victory in the upcoming 2024 general elections,” the release noted.
