President John Mahama has put forward a fresh list of District Chief Executives (DCEs) for eight out of the country’s 16 regions as part of efforts to strengthen local governance and boost development.

The nominations, made in accordance with Article 243(1) of the 1992 Constitution and Section 20(1) of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936), reflect the government’s commitment to ensuring effective leadership at the district level.

A statement issued by the Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, Ahmed Ibrahim, confirmed the appointments, noting that each nominee would require approval from their respective District Assemblies before officially assuming office.

This latest move is expected to fill existing vacancies in various districts, enhance service delivery, and reinforce the administration’s vision of grassroots transformation.
