Correspondence from Ashanti Region Tensions are rising in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region as a group identifying themselves as the "Young Cadres" of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) threatens mass demonstrations and resignations if their preferred candidate, Sakina Oforiwaa, is not appointed District Chief Executive (DCE).
The group claims that the district is in dire need of a competent and unifying leader, and they believe Oforiwaa is the best candidate for the job.
They are demanding that President and the Appointments Committee immediately name her as DCE or risk losing a significant portion of the NDC's grassroots support in the constituency. "You either appoint Sakina as DCE or risk massive demonstrations and mass resignations.
She is the best choice and the preferred candidate of the people," declared Isaac Ampaabeng, Communications Director of the Young Cadres in the constituency, during a press conference held in Anyinamso No. 2.
