President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has directed that all Metropolitan Municipal and District Chief executives across the country should vacate their post with immediate effect, Starrfmonline.com can confirm.

According to a copy of the letter sighted by Starrfmonline.com, all the MMDCEs across the country have been asked to handover to their Coordinating directors.

“By virtue of article 243 (3)(b) of the constitution of the republic, H.E the president of the republic has revoked the appointment of all MMDCEs with immediate effect. In this regard, all MMDCEs are directed to hand over their relevant duties to MMCDs for further instruction.”

The MMDCEs were appointed under the former Mahama-led administration.

The directive from the President indicates that new MMDCEs are likely to be appointed within the shortest possible time.

The President has already appointed 25 ministers-designate who will be vetted by the appointments committee of parliament from January 20.
