The Member of Parliament for Atwima Mponua, Hon. Seth Osei Akoto, has undertaken a thank-you tour across seven communities within his constituency to express gratitude for their unwavering support during the 2024 general elections. The tour, which spanned several days, saw the MP visiting Beposo, Abompe, Bedaabour, Kwamedwaa, Kyenkemtaa, and other key communities in the district.
Addressing enthusiastic residents during community durbars, Hon. Osei Akoto called on the people to continue trusting the New Patriotic Party (NPP), despite its current position as the opposition party. He assured the constituents that he would not relent in his efforts to bring development to the area, pledging to work hand-in-hand with key stakeholders, including the District Chief Executive, party executives, and his predecessor, Hon. Isaac Kwame Asiamah.
“Being in opposition does not mean we should fold our arms. I will use every legitimate means to attract development to our district,” Hon. Osei Akoto said.

One of the highlights of the MP’s visit occurred at Bedaabour, where he made a strong commitment to commission the abandoned Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound. The facility, which has been left incomplete for nearly 13 years, has long been a symbol of frustration for residents. Hon. Osei Akoto pledged to make its completion a priority to enhance access to healthcare services in the area. He also promised to work towards connecting Bedaabour to the national electricity grid — another critical concern for the community.
“My office will ensure the necessary lobbying is done to provide electricity to Bedaabour and other communities still in darkness. These basic amenities are not luxuries but necessities,” the MP stressed.
The thank-you tour was not only an opportunity for the MP to express appreciation but also to engage directly with the people on pressing issues affecting their lives. Residents raised concerns ranging from poor road networks, lack of potable water, inadequate school infrastructure, and job opportunities for the youth.
In an exclusive interview with Otec FM, the Chief of Bedaabour, Nana Kwaku Boah, commended Hon. Osei Akoto for his humility and willingness to listen to the concerns of his constituents.
“It is refreshing to see our MP come back to us after the elections. It shows leadership. We are hopeful that the promises made will be fulfilled. Our community needs urgent attention, and we believe he has the passion to make a difference,” Nana Kwaku Boah remarked.
The tour has been widely welcomed by residents, many of whom expressed optimism that the MP’s development-driven agenda will help address the numerous challenges faced by the Atwima Mponua District.
Hon. Seth Osei Akoto concluded his tour by reiterating his commitment to transparency, accountability, and grassroots participation in governance.
“Together with the chiefs, elders, and the good people of Atwima Mponua, we will build a better future,” he concluded.
