The youth of Ahafo Ano North constituency, Tepa in the Ashanti Region, have urged President John Dramani Mahama to appoint Mr Richard Merz as the next Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the area.

The youth made the call here yesterday in a statement issued and copied the Ghanaian Times, following their overwhelming endorsement after his successful vetting last Thursday at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party headquarters in the Ashanti Region.

The Aspiring MCE, a prominent figure within the NDC, has also won the backing of party executives and community leaders.

He previously contested as a parliamentary candidate for the Ahafo Ano North constituency and has built a strong reputation as a servant leader within the NDC and beyond.
