President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed all Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) across Ghana in a major shake-up of local governance.
The announcement came shortly after he was sworn in as Ghana's 6th President on January 7, 2025, through a letter signed by Dr.
Callistus Mahama, the President's Executive Secretary.
The decision, which takes effect immediately, follows the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936) and its 2017 amendment (Act 940).
