President John Dramani Mahama has nominated a new batch of District Chief Executives (DCEs) for eight out of the 16 regions, to spearhead local governance and development across the country.
The appointments, made in accordance with Article 243(1) of the 1992 Constitution and Section 20(1) of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936), are part of the government’s efforts to strengthen local governance and accelerate development.
The move aligns with President Mahama’s vision of ensuring effective administration at the district level to drive grassroots transformation.
A statement signed by the Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, Ahmed Ibrahim, confirmed the nominations, stating that the appointees must secure approval from their respective District Assemblies before assuming office.
The nominations are expected to fill vacant DCE positions and enhance service delivery at the local level.
