Dormaa-Ahenkro, (B/R), Oct. 7, GNA – The 44-member Dormaa Central Municipal Assembly on Thursday endorsed Mr Drissa Quattara, the President’s Nominee as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE).
Mr Quattara, who was re-nominated by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, secured 100 per cent votes, as all the Assembly Members voted in his favour, in an election organised and supervised by the Electoral Commission.
The election, which was scheduled last week at Dormaa-Ahenkro, the Municipal capital of the Bono Region, was, however, suspended and the Ghana News Agency (GNA) learnt the suspension was based on security reasons.
