Elizabeth Sackey is tipped to be Accra Mayor
• President Akufo-Addo’s nominee list for Chief Executives of MMDAs for Greater Accra and Eastern Region captures some interesting names
• Per documents sighted by GhanaWeb, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly is set to have its first female Mayor
• Nsawam traders are also against the president’s choice of MCE for the area
The list of the nominees for the various Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives is set to be released by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development.
GhanaWeb has however intercepted the list of nominees presented by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the Eastern and Greater Accra Regions.
The biggest story from the Greater Accra Region is that, Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah, who was the Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly in the first term of President Akufo-Add has been fired.
In his place Elizabeth Sackey, who is a former member of parliament for Okaikwei North, has been nominated as the first female Mayor of Accra.
If given the nod by the assembly members of the AMA, Elizabeth Sackey will be working with her cousin Henry Quartey who is the Greater Accra Regional Minister.
In the Eastern Region, there already have been reactions to the retention of Isaac Buabeng as Chief Executive of the Nsawam-Adoagyiri municipality.
Some traders, GhanaWeb understands, poured on the streets of Nsawam today to register their displeasure over the president’s pick for the area.
