The Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs-designate, Ahmed Ibrahim, has stated that Ghanaians overwhelmingly support the election of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) on a non-partisan basis.
Speaking before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, Ahmed Ibrahim expressed his disagreement with the 's (NPP) stance that these elections should be conducted on partisan lines. "I do agree that MMDCEs must be elected.
The second question is I disagree that it must be done on partisan basis and that is the bone of contention between the two sides. "We said MMDCEs must be elected on non-partisan basis, and you said they must be elected on partisan basis.
We sold these two views to Ghanaians.
