The Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, Ahmed Ibrahim, has criticised the recent protests by some residents and supporters of the (NDC) in Asante Mampong over an alleged nomination of Esther Dwomoh as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the area.
Speaking on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, during a meeting with leaders of major Christian religious institutions in Accra as part of broader consultations for the National Sanitation Day initiative, the minister questioned the rationale behind the demonstrations, noting that official announcements for many MMDCE positions had not even been made. "I don't see chaos as we are saying it.
People are agitating… Thankfully, it is not from where the news announcement has been made. "It is where people's suspicion is being on suspense, and I could hear of only Manpong, Ashanti Region, we've not mentioned the MMDCEs from Ashanti Region.
It's only the Kumasi Mayor that has been mentioned.
