Michael Kpakpo Allotey has been confirmed as the Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) following a unanimous vote by Assembly Members during a Special General Assembly Meeting held on Tuesday at the Accra City Hall.
Mr Allotey secured all 30 valid votes cast in an election conducted by the Electoral Commission, achieving a 100 percent endorsement-well above the two-thirds majority required under Section 20 of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936).
The result was met with cheers, drumming and dancing as government appointees, party executives, traditional leaders, and residents joined Assembly Members in celebrating what many hailed as a vote of confidence and unity.
Supervising the process, Greater Accra Regional Minister Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo commended the Assembly Members for their decision and urged them to continue supporting the nominee beyond confirmation.
