Accra, July 08, GNA – The Eastern Regional Executive Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) expressed sadness over the sudden demise of Ernest Yaw Kumi, the MP for Akwatia. 

A statement issued by Evans Osei Yeboah Tsooboi, the Eastern Regional Communications Officer of the NPP, said Mr. Kumi was a dedicated public servant whose commitment to the development of Akwatia and the ideals of the NPP was unwavering 

“This heartbreaking news has come as a great shock to the Party, the people of Akwatia, and the nation at large,” Mr Tsooboi noted. 

He said Mr. Kumi was a dedicated public servant whose commitment to the development of Akwatia and the ideals of the NPP was unwavering.  

“We extend our deepest condolences to his immediate family, the chiefs and people of the Akwatia Constituency, and the entire NPP fraternity across the country.  

“May the soul of our beloved brother and compatriot rest in perfect peace,” the statement said. 

“Akwatia Star Boy, rest well,” the statement read. 

Mr. Kumi has recently been involved in a legal tussle over the legitimacy of his electoral victory in the 2024 polls. 

The Supreme Court recently overturned a Koforidua High Court contempt conviction against the MP for Akwatia.
