The Ashanti Regional Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abass Nurudeen, has called on residents in the region to support the Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) nominees by President John Dramani Mahama.
President John Dramani Mahama has released a list of names who will represent him as MMDCEs in various municipal and district assemblies in the Region.
Following the release, some district and municipal assemblies have recorded pockets of protests against some of the nominees, calling on the president to change them.
Speaking to Dr. Cash on the Kumasi-based OTEC 102.9 FM’s afternoon political show “Dwabrem” on Thursday, the Chief Executive Officer of the Social Investment Fund (SIF), Abass Nurudeen, said all the nominees are members of the NDC in good standing.
He noted that these nominees are individuals who are not only competent but contributed significantly to the party’s quest to win power.
” There was a time where the NDC struggled to get parliamentary candidates; it took these same individuals to sacrifice their time and resources to make the party attractive”. He said
Some of the nominees have also served as party chairpersons for decades, and Abass Nurudeen believes they are all deserving of the post.
He observed that President Mahama scrutinized the list before the final appointment, calling on the public for support.
