NDC Went Through All MMDCE Processes With Us Only To Backstab Akufo-Addo In The Last Minute – Ex-MCE

Former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Akuapem North, Mr Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) decision to reject a move by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to have Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) elected during his first term in office was a betrayal in the highest order.

Speaking on TV3 he said “Some of our people are disappointed, others too are happy. It is part of the democracy that we have.

“For me, this whole discussion brings us to the processes and modalities we use to appoint MMDCEs. I have always agreed with the president and I have stood by him when he says that we need to elect our MMDCEs . Unfortunately, we started a very lengthy process and then along the line our friends from the NDC who were on the same table with us from scratch on the principle of going to elect our MMDCEs on partisan basis abandoned us.

“We believed that MMDCEs should be elected on partisan basis, they (NDC) agreed with us, worked with us, went through the entire process, went through parliament, went through the entire process with us in parliament, supported the enactment of all the legislations and at the last minute to the referendum they pulled out. That singular act was the biggest back stabbing in our history.”
