Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament for Effutu, has revealed that Winneba in the Central Region will host the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) extraordinary session in September 2023.
This would be the area’s second time hosting the session, having done so the previous year.
The MP, who also serves as the Deputy Majority Leader, stated that they are ready to host the event and that the necessary facilities are in place.
Over 300 delegations are expected to attend, including MPs from all member countries, experts, and journalists, among others.
“I am happy to announce that by the grace of God, after successfully hosting the first ECOWAS extraordinary session in Winneba in 2021, it has pleased the Speaker and the entire ECOWAS Parliament Secretariat to select Winneba for another extraordinary congress in September”.
“The necessary letters have been written and delivered to the authorities, so we are going to start the necessary processes to receive the over three hundred people made up of MPs, experts, and journalists. We have the necessary facilities and infrastructure to host them.”
“Winneba is just an hour’s drive away from Accra by road and if there is traffic, you could spend just an hour and a half, so it is not out of reach that our Parliamentarians will leave Accra and come to Winneba for the session.”
