Some aggrieved National Democratic Congress (NDC) members at Mampong in the Ashanti Region have accused the regional minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene of interfering in the selection of a Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area.

Speaking in a recent interview on TV Africa, they expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of the minister.

"I attended the regional and the national vetting because of the love I have for the party. Nii Adjabeng and Esther Dwomoh were vetted at the national level. After the exercise, we received the order of performance, and some names were omitted from the list. But one of them has now reportedly been nominated as the MCE.

"I want to put it on record that the regional minister orchestrated this with the help of one Dada Alex. He wants to impose his preferred candidate on us. I want to say on authority that the regional minister orchestrated this with the help of one Dada Alex," the spokesperson stated.

On Thursday, April 10, the youth went on rampage and set party properties ablaze following reports that Esther Dwomoh had been nominated as MCE.

They claimed that the shortlist for the MCE position following the vetting included only three individuals: the 2024 NDC Parliamentary Candidate for the area, Yakubu Yakubu; the current Constituency Chairman, Mohammed Kamil; and party member Imoro Iddrisu.
