The Kwahu North District Assembly on Wednesday approved Mr Ibrahim Issaka as the District Chief Executive.
He polled 75 votes out of the 89 votes cast representing 93 percent.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Issaka, a 31-year-old Public Relations Practitioner and an assembly member for Tease electoral area, thanked the President and the assembly members for the
confidence reposed in him and pledged to unite the assembly and work hard for the development of the district.
He said the task ahead was challenging and required a high sense of dedication, sacrifice and commitment and urged members of the assembly, the district administration, chiefs and other stakeholders to join forces to transform the district.
The assembly elected a Presiding Member (PM).
Mr Alhassan Fuseini, a businessman and a government appointee, polled 76 votes out of the 86 votes cast representing 86 percent after his main challenger, Nana Akuamoah Boateng II, stepped
down after the first round of voting failed to produce a winner.
Mr Fuseini commended the assembly members for the confidence reposed in him and appealed to them to cooperate and support him to initiate programmes for the development of the district.
The Eastern Regional Minister, Dr Kwasi Akyem Apea-Kubi, said the absence of the two personalities retarded development of the assembly
and urged assembly members to support them.
