The Leadership of the House congratulated Mr Anim and welcomed him to the House.
Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the NPP Majority Leader and Leader of Government Business in Parliament, commended the people of Kumawu for exhibiting patriotism during the Kumawu by-election.
He prayed that the pending Assin North by-election might be conducted on the same path as the Kumawu one.
He urged Mr Anim to distinguish himself within this limited time, so that his people would see his good works and vote again for him in the 2024 general election.
Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, the Minority Leader, urged Mr Anim to emulate the good works of his predecessor, who was reaching out to both sides of the House.
He urged him to quickly settle down as a Member of Parliament and obviously perform the task that he had to perform according to the Constitution of Ghana.
