A Gender Activist and Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Grace Adasi has described the number of female nominees in the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives, MMDCEs list released on September 19, 2021 as “very impressive”.

She was particularly impressed with the number of female nominees in the Greater Accra Region where 8 of the 29 nominees are females.

The total number of female nominees also increased from 36 in President Akufo-Addo’s first term to 38.

Dr. Adasi was also happy with the female nominees in the North of Ghana, where the Northern, Savannah, Upper East and Upper West Regions, all had females selected. The Ahafo and Western-North were the only Regions without female representation.

“We have 16.03% in 2017 of women being appointed as the MMDCEs and 17.43% in 2021. So clearly here is improvement and we should look at the future that more women will be given the opportunity to serve, even in the Northern regions, with the nominations though minimal, it is very impressive because looking at the cultural norms there, I wasn’t expecting any woman to get the appointment but this is the case where they have been given the nod,” according to Dr. Adasi.
