Immediately after the announcement of the metropolitan, municipal and district Chief Executives (MMDCEs) nominees by the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Mr Dan Botwe, the angry supporters stormed the party’s constituency office, broke into it and vandalised everything.
According to the protestors, the Nominee is a staunch NDC supporter, and a daughter of a former DCE during the John Mahama administration, hence their opposition.
