President John Dramani Mahama is expected to announce the new Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) for Ghana by Friday, January 31.

This was confirmed by the Greater Accra Regional Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Anthony Nukpenu, in an interview on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, January 27.

Mr. Nukpenu revealed that the Greater Accra Region is wrapping up its vetting process and will soon forward its final list of recommended candidates for consideration.

“Some regions completed the vetting process last week,” Mr. Nukpenu said. “We are finalising ours today, and by this evening or early tomorrow morning, we should be forwarding our list to the appropriate office.

“We hope the Local Government Minister and the team set up by the president to finalise it will expedite their review and make the right recommendations to the president for his announcement.”

He conveyed his belief that the process would be finalized swiftly, paving the way for the nationwide announcement of MMDCEs by Friday.

“And so in my estimation, by Friday, we should be announcing MMDCEs across the country if everyone will work assiduously,” Mr. Nukpenu added.
