The 76th Annual New Year School and Conference (ANYSC) has strongly recommended the election of Metropolitan Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCES) along partisan political lines.

The participants called for support in the election of MMDCES and the inclusion of political parties and independent candidates in local government.

The election of MMDCES is one of the 15-point recommendations issued at the end of the three-day session held at the University of Ghana, Legon. "It would be beneficial for the government to consider constitutional amendments that allow for the election of political parties and independent candidates in local government, given the challenges of the past 32 years. "This would promote a multi-party democracy, enhance district development, and encourage broader citizen participation," stated Dr.

Simon-Peter Kafui Aheto, Director of the 76th Annual New Year School & Conference.
