Mr Charles Kofi Ogbeh, who contested the Adansi Fomena parliamentary seat on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 general election was on Tuesday, this week, confirmed as the District Chief Executive for the Adansi North District of Ashanti region. He polled 22 out of the 23 votes cast.
In his acceptance speech, he pledged to team up with the assembly members, chiefs and relevant stakeholders to bring improvement to the lives of the people in the district.
He stated further that he would prioritise education, health and sanitation issues and called for the support of the entire citizens of Adansi North District to enable him achieve his vision.
Meanwhile, NDC Youth of Adansi Asokwa in the Ashanti region have pleaded with President John Dramani Mahama to nominate Mr Kenneth Boakye Acheampong, popularly known as Akyikin, for the position of DCE for the district.
The call comes after the failure of Mr. Albert Dakora to secure two thirds of the votes to qualify for the position.
He obtained 18 out of the 39 votes cast. At a press conference held at Adansi Asokwa to articulate their concerns, the Spokesperson for the group, Isaac Addai Boadi, who is also the Adansi Asokwa D/A JHS 1 Branch Youth Organiser, noted that Mr. Kenneth Boakye Acheampong, who contested as Parliamentary Candidate for the party in 2020 was highly qualified for the position.
“Akyikin is highly qualified for the position of DCE and we should not make a mistake to bypass him for any other person,” Addai Boadi stated.
He pointed out that Mr. Acheampong has served the party in various capacities and reputed for the construction of the party’s magnificent office at Adansi Asokwa.
The spokesperson further said information filtering in indicates that the President might nominate Albert Dakora the second time and appealed to him not to go for Dakora again, but rather bring on board Kenneth Boakye Acheampong.
Isaac Addai Boadi also called on the Adansi Asokwa MP, Godwin Animli Dorgbadzi Dorani to stop any moves to prevail on the President to nominate Albert Dakora for the second time for the DCE post for Adansi Asokwa.
