The long-awaited announcement of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) across Ghana is set to be made by President John Dramani Mahama by the close of business on Friday, January 31.

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

Mr. Nukpenu disclosed that the Greater Accra Region is in the final stages of its vetting process and will be submitting its list of recommended candidates imminently.

“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 expressed optimism that the process would be completed efficiently, enabling the announcement of MMDCEs nationwide 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.
