CLOSE YOUR RANKS, SUPPORT PRESIDENT’S MMDCE NOMINEES——FORMER ASPIRANT.
Mr Emmanuel Obrempong Frimpong, a former district chief executive (DCE) aspirant for Afigya-Kwabre and President of the Coalition for Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCES) aspirants (COMAS) has called on his colleagues who did not get the nod to represent their districts as chief executives to close their ranks and support those nominated by the President.
According to him, they may not have been chosen at this time but the President may have other plans for them in his second term of government.
Addressing a press conference Monday morning, Mr Frimpong noted that even though many had applied and may have aspired to lead their respective districts as MMDCEs, the President could, however, only make one choice out of the applicants.
He stressed that, ‘’once the President has made that choice in each of the MMDAS across the country of who he thinks can best lead the area’s development process it is incumbent on all who aspired and applied but were not chosen to support the lucky ones to succeed and collectively develop the various MMDAS’’.
DETAILS:
The Coalition President also charged MMDCEs who were not returned into office not to lose heart but offer their support to the ones nominated.
The support they render to the succeeding MMDCEs, Mr Frimpong said would go a long way to enable them work to develop the area.
Mr Frimpong intimated that once these former MMDCEs have had the opportunity to serve before in government it is incumbent on them to support others who have now found favor with the President.
‘’I hereby rally all party members to show support to the newly nominated persons to ensure the party does well in government and also helps in developing all the MMDAS in the country’’, the COMAS President passionately stressed.
RESOLVE:
The COMAS president said the NPP was bent on staying in power beyond 2024 to accomplish the development agenda the party has.
According to Mr Frimpong, it is possible for the NPP to break the 8 year cycle the party has enjoyed anytime it has won power.
This, he noted, would however be dependent on how the NPP performs in its second term of office.
‘’We will be able to break the eight (8) with hard work and since the work of the MMDCEs would be grass-root based we will be able to turn the electoral fortunes of the party to go beyond 8 years with a determined development effort’’, Mr Frimpong stated.
