The event was graced by several prominent figures, including the District Chief Executive (DCE) of the Amansie South District Assembly, Hon. Clement Opoku Gyamfi, popularly known as CID, who lauded the MP for his dedication to development. Also present were constituency executives, such as the constituency chairman, Mr. Kofi Acheampong, and constituency organizer, Mr. Atta Asenso Peter, along with other New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters.
