Security forces, including armed police officers, have been positioned in Bole, Savannah Region, particularly around the residences of former President John Mahama and the Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Sulemana Yusif. This follows unrest by local youth over the nomination of Abdulai Mahmoud as the new Municipal Chief Executive (MCE).

The demonstrators, expressing their anger, burned used tyres in the streets and invaded the district assembly hall. They also threatened to harm Sulemana Yusif who also serves as the area's Member of Parliament—along with other officials, accusing them of being involved in the selection of Abdulai Mahmoud, a teacher.

Speaking to media, some of the protestors noted that their rejection was based on Mahmoud’s lack of ties to the community, claiming he neither originates from the area nor casts his vote in the constituency.

They further told Adom News’ Rebecca Natomah that they would not accept his appointment, stressing that Mahmoud’s name did not appear on the initial list of nominated candidates.

The tension de-escalated after security personnel spoke with the protestors, leading to their eventual withdrawal.
