In his victory speech following the Ejisu by-election, Mr. Boateng reaffirmed his commitment to fostering unity within the constituency. He also pledged to ensure that Ejisu receives its equitable share of development.“Development comes from the government. It is the government that provides the resources for development and it is that same government presenting me; I came on the ticket of the government. Whatever development the state will share, my job is to make sure I lobby for the people of Ejisu,” he stated.
