The Regional Council of Elders and Executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Savannah Region have appealed to Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executive (MMDCE) aspirants to remain calm and support the President’s choice for the role.
According to a communique issued by the party’s Regional Secretary, Haruna Iddrisu, the Savanah Region has enjoyed a lasting peace and would not want to stain the record with violence that may erupt as a result of disagreements with the list announced on Sunday September 19, 2021.
“…Our great party is appealing to all party members as well as the general public in the Savannah Region not to do anything to disturb the peace the area is enjoying in the wake of the release of the MMDCEs today.
“The Region is blessed with good human capital to occupy the positions of the MMDCEs in the various MMDAs but these positions are limited. To those who will not find their names on the President’s list of nominees, let’s remain calm, control our supporters and support the lucky ones” the statement read.
While encouraging the members of the NPP to uphold the long-standing peace and unity, the party cautioned that the aspirants who would be nominated celebrate in moderation with their supporters as well.
Meanwhile seven persons have been nominated to fill the vacant MMDCE positions in the region. They include two females and five males.
The two females are Veronica Alele for the Bole District and Losina Barikisu for the Sawla Tuna Kalba District.
The Male nominees include: Iddrisu Salia for the Central GOnja District; Mohammed Tamimu for East Gonja District; Mohammed Musah Tindawu for North-east Gonja District; Adam Eliasu for North Gonja District; and Karim Musah Kusubari for West Gonja District.
