National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has urged party supporters in the Effutu Constituency to take local government elections seriously if they want to influence the approval of District Chief Executives (DCEs).
Speaking during an engagement with party members in Effutu, Mr Asiedu Nketia explained that although the President nominates DCEs, their approval lies with the District Assembly.
He stressed that if the Assembly fails to endorse a nominee, that person cannot assume office.
According to him, failing to secure enough party-aligned Assembly members could stall governance at the local level, as the absence of a DCE hampers development and disrupts the smooth running of government business.
He therefore encouraged NDC supporters to actively participate in Assembly elections and work towards electing candidates aligned with the party, noting that this would ease the approval of government nominees and help accelerate development in their communities.
