District Chief Executive nominee for the Awutu Senya West constituency, Moses Arhinful Acquah, did not meet the threshold required to be elected as the District Chief Executive.
Out of the 35 votes cast, the DCE nominee, Moses Arhinful Acquah, garnered 19 “Yes” votes and 15 “No” votes, which fell short of two-thirds of the members present.
The Regional Minister, Marigold Assan, and some key members of the assembly are locked in a meeting with assembly members to discuss the way forward.
The Regional Minister advised the assembly members to do the needful.
“When you go back to your homes, please think about the development of Awutu Senya West and the various electoral areas so that we can come together and champion the cause of Awutu Senya West. Let’s do away with partisan politics and do what is necessary. There are 22 MMDAs in the Central Region, so one should not be an obstacle at all. The President has the development of Awutu Senya West at heart, and so we must ensure that the DCE nominee gets one hundred percent endorsement,” the Central Regional Minister said.
The Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West, Gizella Tetteh Agbotui, who was present at the endorsement ceremony, called for cooperation from both sides of the divide to ensure that the assembly functions effectively.
“As an assembly, they are much responsible for bringing both sides together. The former executives failed to do that, but I think there should be a bit more cooperation going forward to ensure that we work together as a team,” Gizella Tetteh Agbotui said.
