The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Sekyere East in Effiduase in the Ashanti Region, Mary Boatemaa Marfo has been sacked by President Akufo Addo.
This comes after she allegedly threatened to reduce the votes of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Effiduase-Asokore Constituency during the December 7 polls.
In a leaked audio, the DCE was heard in a conversation with a party member saying that she will frustrate voters on election day which will in turn reduce the votes of the NPP and the Member of Parliament, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie.
Meanwhile Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, has been tasked to take oversight responsibility until a new DCE is appointed.
