Mr Boadi obtained 110 YES votes as against 20 NO votes on Tuesday at an election organised by the Assembly

According Graphic Online's Kumasi reporter, Kwadwo Baffoe Donkor, Boadi was on the only candidate who filed to contest the vacant position even though other candidates picked nomination forms.

The Amakomhene was appointed to the KMA on the ticket of the government and was elected as the Presiding Member by the members.

When there was a change of government on January 7, 2017, and it was required that the new government appoint its representatives to the Assembly, Nana Asare was dropped and therefore the PM position became vacant.

In all, 146 members were expected to cast their ballot to elect the new PM and Mr Boadi needed at least 98 votes, representing two thirds of the total membership.

Last year, Mr Boadi made similar attempts at the Presiding Member position but could not secure the two thirds majority and had to make way for a compromised candidate in the person of the Amakomhene.

He was sworn into office by a Kumasi High Court judge, Justice Nicholas Abodakpi after the election and delivering his acceptance speech, he promised to work to unite members of the KMA and ensure smooth development in Kumasi.

He urged his colleagues at the assembly to also work hard to ensure the development of their electoral areas.

40 new government appointees out of the 44 government appointees were also sworn into office,

Later on, The Presiding Member, Mr Abraham Boadi and a government appointee, Mr Kwabena Owusu Dwomoh, were elected to represent the assembly at the Ashanti Regional Electoral College to select a representative to the Council of State on Thursday.
