President’s Nominee for Bongo receives overwhelming endorsement

Mr Ayamdor in a blissful mood

   

Former Presiding Member (PM) for the Bongo District Assembly, Alexis Ayamdor, has been unanimously endorsed to serve as the new District Chief Executive for Bongo. The president’s nominee, who has worked with the assembly for almost a decade, attained a 100 percent mark as all 52 elected and appointed members voted on his behalf to confirm his candidature. The atmosphere following the outcome of electoral process was all joy and excitement, especially when the result was announced by the EC representative, Mr. Azu Bosco. Mr Ayamdor’s elevation from a presiding member to a DCE has been described by many as historic, since previous elections to approve a president’s nominee in the area has been shrouded in fear and uncertainties. With his new position, Mr Ayamdor will now take over from Mr Akugri Tia, the outgoing DCE, who after a four year term was recently relieved off his post, upon directives by the president. Before his confirmation, the Upper East Regional Minister, Alhaji Limuna-Mohammed Muniru, was optimistic that the nominee was going to receive a 100 percent approval as expectations were high. Moreover, section of the public that thronged to the premises of the assembly came out with positive predictions, an indication that the nominee was poised to emerge victorious. Mr Ayamdor, in a short message showed gratitude to his colleagues for the confidence repose in him. He however pledged to facilitate the speedy development of the district and called on the support of all to enable him achieve better results. The Regional Minister, who described members of the house as men and women of integrity based on their level of maturity and unity, implored all irrespective of party affiliations to rally behind the nominee in executing his development agenda. Alhaji  Mohammed Muniru also advised the nominee not to use his current position to lord his administrative authority on the people, but rather demonstrate his resolve to tackling the developmental issues in the area in consultation with the elders of the assembly. The oath of office was administered by Her Worship, Vivian Yamusa, of the Bolga/Bongo District court. The assembly meeting attracted high profile dignitaries including the Upper West Regional Minister, Dr. Ephraim  Avea Nsoh, MP for Bongo, Mr Albert Abongo as well as the DCE for Talensi, Mr Edward Awunnore, among others invited guests. Radio Ghana has gathered that the confirmation of Mr Ayamdor, adds up to four, the number of DCEs confirmed in the region.
