Upper East Region is one of the regions that started with the compilation of names a few weeks after the general election for those interested in the position of MMDCEs in the region.
Even though such a hasty move by the secretariat received some kind of criticisms from some well-meaning members of the governing NPP and some members of the opposition in the region, following the abysmal performance witness by the governing party in the region in the 2020 election
It appears the national secretariat of the governing party did not sanction or even tasked any region to start any vetting process which had actually taken place in the Upper East Region.
The National general secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mr. John Boadu has cautioned prospective candidates for the position of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives to be wary of people purporting to have been tasked by the President Akufo-Addo and the party to vet candidates for those positions.
Mr. Boadu insists that President will be in charge when time is due for the selection of MMDCEs,
stressing that the party will not have any hand in the selection.
”I want to put it on record that the selection of MMDCEs is yet to start and when it does the New Patriotic Party will have no hands in it”.
”We have seen stories indicating that the party has tasked people to vet candidates for us, we want to put it on record that nothing of that sort has been done and people who engage in this act do so at their own peril” Mr. Boadu told the media.
