At the meeting, the DPG team held had post-election discussions with regards to a review of the collaborative efforts between the group and the Constituency Campaign Team, which contributed to flipping the seat, the only such flip to the NPP in the Greater Accra Region.

He thanked DPG for their immense support and love showed him through the adoption of the Amasaman Constituency.
