In a confirmation exercise held on Tuesday, September 28, 2021, Joseph Asuming enjoyed 100% approval from the assembly members in the district.
In a phone interview with GhanaWeb, an excited Asuming expressed gratitude to the assembly for expediting his approval.

He was particularly grateful to President Akufo-Addo for granting him another four years to serve as his representative in the district.
The legal practitioner promised to collaborate with the Member of Parliament for the Bosomtwi Constituency, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum to bring development to the district.
“I feel excited to be retained but it’s also another challenge for me to work hard and bring development to the district. Everything borders on team work so I’m going to work with my MP and the regional minister, assembly members and all relevant stakeholders to bring development to the district.
“One of the biggest challenges here which we have received assurances that it will be fixed is the road. Myself, the MP and regional minister and working on fixing the road so it’s one of the things I will be focusing on. We will improve the road network and also create employment opportunities here,” he said.
