Speaking to JoyNews, he thanked the President and his constituents for their overwhelming endorsement.
He is committed to working tirelessly to develop the area.
Mr Kwakye says he will continue the excellent work of the previous MCE in rationalising the socio-economic development of the municipality.
He is also sure to improve the security challenges and accident cases on the Konongo-Juaso Stretch.
The Member of Parliament for the Asante Akim Central Constituency, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, said he will work with the MCE to develop the municipality.
Mr Anyimadu-Antwi admonished the assembly members to support the MCE to work on the developmental needs of the constituency.

Mr Nsenkyire said the Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, also assured the constituency that work will be expedited on the Konongo road project.
He's confident the project, when completed, will help deal with the numerous accidents on the Konongo to Juaso road and check the huge traffic.
