The Binduri District of the Upper East Region has failed in the first attempt to confirm the President’s nominee for the position of District Chief Executive (DCE) in the area but succeeded in electing Atilata Ndeogo Salifu as Presiding Member Apexnewsgh.com reports Mr. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu the incumbent DCE for the Binduri District Assembly is one of the former appointees from the first Akufo-Addo’s administration who enjoys a re-nomination from President in his current MMDCEs nominees in the region. However, before the unsuccessful confirmation of the DCE, the Assembly deem it necessary to elect a Presiding Member to stir the affair of the Assembly. But unfortunately, that process became a success after 3 good attempts by the Assembly Members which consumed about 7hours of people’s precious time. The Presiding Member-elect for the Atilata Ndeogo Salifu after the election, used the platform to apologize to everyone present for the unfortunate delay and frustrations witnessed during the process, as he extends his gratitude to all and sundry for supporting his candidate as the Presiding Member for the Binduri District. He further promised to cooperate accordingly with the District Chief Executive (DCE) if confirmed and his colleague’s assembly members for the development of the district. Ironically, when the opportunity came for the confirmation of the President’s nominee Ayinga Abagre Yakubu who happened to be the incumbent DCE in the area, both the Upper East Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu and the Member of Parliament for the Binduri Abanga Abdulai was given an opportunity to give a short speech of conviction to the Assembly Members. However, it appears the plea from the two Binduri Statesmen could not do the magic as expected because the 17 Assembly Members which includes government appointees voted 10 YES and 7 NO which automatically makes it impossible for the President’s nominee to go through.  Per the constitution, the Assembly will reconvene within 10 days for the opportunity to approve or disapprove Mr. Ayinga Abagre Yakubu.
