The nominee for District Chief Executive in the Awutu Senya West constituency, Moses Arhinful Acquah, fell short of the required threshold for election.

Among the 35 votes cast, Moses Arhinful Acquah secured 19 "Yes" votes and 15 "No" votes, failing to meet the two-thirds majority.

Regional Minister Marigold Assan, along with key assembly members, is currently in a meeting to discuss the next steps.

The Regional Minister encouraged assembly members to prioritize the development of Awutu Senya West over partisan politics and emphasized the President's commitment to the region's progress.

“When you go back to your homes, please think about the development of Awutu Senya West and the various electoral areas so that we can come together and champion the cause of Awutu Senya West. Let’s do away with partisan politics and do what is necessary. There are 22 MMDAs in the Central Region, so one should not be an obstacle at all. The President has the development of Awutu Senya West at heart, and so we must ensure that the DCE nominee gets one hundred percent endorsement,” the Central Regional Minister said.

“As an assembly, they are much responsible for bringing both sides together. The former executives failed to do that, but I think there should be a bit more cooperation going forward to ensure that we work together as a team,” Gizella Tetteh Agbotui said.

MP Gizella Tetteh Agbotui, present at the endorsement ceremony, called for cooperation to ensure effective functioning of the assembly, emphasizing the need for unity and teamwork.
