The President, Nana Akufo-Addo, is expected to appoint eligible persons to fill the vacancies at the 216 metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies, following the expiration of the chief executives.
1,317 persons have applied for the 216 vacancies, amid claims that successive chief executives have done little to improve on what exists in the communities.
The National Treasurer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Kwabena Abankwah-Yeboah, has assured all applicants for the position of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) that they would be treated fairly.
Mr Abankwa-Yeboah, who is part of the vetting committee for the Ashanti Region, said this while interacting with some NPP members in Kumasi.
Mr. Abankwa-Yeboah said those selected must be well-informed, trustworthy, selfless and hard working to promote the well-being and prosperity of the people in their communities. He said the committee would treat all applicants equitably without fear or favour.
