President John Dramani Mahama has officially revoked the appointments of all Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) and appointed Assembly Members across the country.
This directive, effective immediately, was communicated in a letter dated January 8, 2025, from the Office of the President to the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation, and Rural Development.
The decision, in line with the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936) and its amendment (Act 940), marks one of the first major administrative changes under Mahama’s new administration following his swearing-in on January 7, 2025.
In the interim, Coordinating Directors of the respective Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) have been instructed to assume responsibility as acting Chief Executives until substantive appointments are made.
The letter, signed by Dr. Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President, directs the Ministry to take immediate action and ensure compliance with the revocation order.
