The Tema East Constituency Chairman of the ruling (NDC), Robert Kempes Ofosuware, has called on all elected Assembly Members and government appointees within the Tema Metropolitan Assembly to vote overwhelmingly in support of Ebi Bright's nomination as Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE).
Madam Bright's appointment was officially communicated in a letter dated April 23, 2025, jointly signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr Callistus Mahama, and the Minister for Local Government, Ahmed Ibrahim.
Her nomination has sparked celebrations among NDC supporters in Tema, many of whom cited her extensive experience, strong visibility in the constituency, and long-standing commitment to local development.
In a statement addressed to Assembly Members and government appointees, Ofosuware urged them to set aside personal preferences and rally behind Ebi Bright for the sake of party unity and the national development agenda. "Although I demonstrated a strong interest in occupying the mayoral position in the Tema Metropolitan Assembly, the President of the Republic, in his own wisdom, thought otherwise," Kempes stated.
