Atwima Mponua DCE, Chiefs Worried Over NPP, NDC Factions In Presiding Membership Election 

The Atwima Mponua District Chief Executive and some traditional authorities are worried about the NPP and NDC factions in the presiding member elections which normally affects the decision of electing a presiding member to lead the various assemblied to carry out their duties.

Charles Dwomfour, the incumbent presiding member was voted against twice even though, his contender stepped down from the context to give him the chance to lead but he could not attain one-third of the total number of 57.

Being in the NPP camp, he had 27 votes out of 57 in the first half and 31 votes in the second half while his contender had 25 votes in the first half and 21 votes in the second half. Rejected ballots were 3 and 4 respectively in the two voting sections.

The assembly is set to reorganize itself to elect a presiding member in 10 days.

The district has 38 elected assembly members, 17 government appointees, and the district chief executive and member of Parliament in the area.

According to the information gathered, 17 out of the total number were NDC-known members, which was said to have affected the decision making.

The most annoying part was that after the electoral official set yes/no ballots to facilitate the process and to certify him (Charles Dwomfour who is said to be aligned with NPP) as the assembly’s presiding member, someone went on to vote no.

After the second round of voting, he couldn't obtain the required percentage which is one-third of the total members of the assembly.

Hon. Isaac Kofi Marfo the District Chief Executive of Atwima Mponua, was very perplexed about the Assembly for an unsuccessful election in support of the development in the district.

Also, some of the traditional leaders were unhappy with the attitudes of the  assembly members and condemned the act.
