President John Dramani Mahama has revoked the appointment of Chief Executives of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies and appointed members of assembly.
The termination of the appointments of the said government officials takes effective today January 8, 2025 and is “in accordance with the powers vested in H.E. John Mahama under the provisions of the Local Government Act, 2016 (Act 936),” a statement signed by Secretary to the President Dr. Callistus Mahama said.
The statement further directs Coordinating Directors of the various assemblies to assume the role of acting MMDCEs until when substantive appointments will be made.
“In the interim, the respect Coordinating Directors of the various MMDCAs are directed to assume responsibility as acting Chief Executive until substantive appointments are duly made.”
This development comes a day after John Mahama was sworn-in as the sixth President of the Fourth Republic of Ghana. He and his party won the 2024 elections on the back of promises to restore economic growth, independence of state institutions and to tackle corruption.
