Fatimatu Abubakari, Minister Designate for Information; Hon. Francis Asenso Boakye, Minister Designate for Roads and Highways; Hon. Stephen Asamoah Boateng, Minister for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs; Hon. Saeed Abu Jibril, the Savannah Regional Minister; Professor Alhaji Sulemana Iddrisu, the Savannah Regional Chairman of the NPP; CEO of Forestry Commission, Mr. John Allotey, and Damongo constituency Chairman Constituency executives from all seven constituencies of the Savannah Region, alongside executives from the Ashanti Region and numerous other party loyalists.

Damongo, nestled within the Savannah Region, has historically been a stronghold of the opposition National Democratic Congress since 1993. However, in a remarkable turn of events during the 2020 elections, Hon. Jinapor contested for the first time against the incumbent MP Adam Mutawakilu.

Despite the odds, Jinapor clinched victory, securing over 54% of the valid votes cast. This historic win marked a significant milestone for the New Patriotic Party, as Jinapor became the first NPP legislator to represent the area since the inception of the Fourth Republic.

In recognition of his exemplary leadership and dedication, President Akufo-Addo appointed Jinapor as the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, a role he has effectively served in to date.
