Anloga (VR), April 09, GNA- Mr. Joseph Kwabla Kpatah, the Presiding Member of Anloga District Assembly, has thrown his weight behind Madam Sandra Seyram Kpedor, the District Chief Executive (DCE) nominee for the area.
He is advocating for a massive endorsement of her nomination, citing her exceptional leadership qualities and vision for the district’s development with proper lobbying skills.
Mr. Kpatah, who also contested for the DCE position but could not got the nod, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, said the call for the endorsement is a testament to Madam Kpedor’s capabilities and potential to drive growth and development in the district and beyond.
“Madam Kpedor’s nomination has been well-received by many of us who are eager to work with her to address the district’s challenges and opportunities, and l urged all members to rally support for her nomination for development and progress,” Mr. Kpatah said.
He explained that 41 eligible assembly members which comprised of 28 elected members and 18 government appointees would participate in the DCE nominee approval on Thursday, April 10, between 0900 to 1200 hours and appealed to the public to also support the nominee.
He explained that the key areas the DCE nominee is expected to focus on include improving roads, water, sanitation, electricity, and other essential infrastructure to support economic growth and development and enhance education and healthcare services to improve the quality of life for residents.
Mr. Kpatah said: “It is importance to support Madam Kpedor to get the nod so we can all help to promote other areas such as agriculture and economic development to create jobs and stimulate growth for our district assembly, let’s support President Mahama’s nomination, her leadership skills, vision and potential will bring everybody onboard to drive development.”
Mr. Kpatah said that the confirmation process for the DCE nominee is expected to be smooth, with all the assembly members likely to give maximum endorsement to Madam Kpedor’s nomination with at least two-third votes required for her confirmation to drive development, progress and improvements to the entire assembly.
The Municipal and District Chief Executive nominees in the Volta Region have so far received overwhelming endorsements from assembly members while the rest of the assemblies which include Keta and Anloga are expected to repeat the same gesture.
Some other assembly members GNA interacted with expressed hope that, Madam Kpedor, who is also Anloga National Democratic Congress (NDC) and DCE nominee would receive massive confirmation to become the next DCE to have a positive impact on the district’s development.
They said her leadership and quality visionary skills would likely attract investment, create jobs, uplift and improve the overall quality of life for residents in Anloga district and others.
Some residents in Anloga District have also expressed mixed reaction about Madam Kpedor’s nomination for Anloga District Assembly while others believed she might not have the qualities to drive the development agendas of the area.
Some said that Madam Kpedor would face numerous challenges and opportunities, and her potentials would be crucial in driving growth and development in the district while with the right support and resources, she is expected to make a lasting impact on the community.
