Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s resignation was made public on the night of Wednesday, 21st February, 2024.

The former leader according to Dr Forson will be fondly missed.
“As your contemporary, he has left a mark and a permanent footprint that will probably prove difficult to surpass in the annals of our legislature, for years to come,” Dr Forson noted.
