Stop ‘hijacking’ Council of State elections – Nii Lante Vanderpuye jab MMDCEs LISTEN
FEB 5, 2021
The Minority in Parliament is threatening legal action over what it calls attempts by Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDCEs) to unilaterally select members to vote in the upcoming Council of State election.
According to the Minority, some acting Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) are sidestepping laid down procedures to select persons of their choice.
Speaking to the press in Parliament, Caretaker Ranking Member for Local Government, Nii Lante Vanderpuye said the Minority will not tolerate such acts.
“We are asking all the assemblies to immediately call for a meeting at which the assemblies themselves will nominate two persons to represent the assembly for the election of members of the Council of State. Anything short of that, we will go to the court and seek an annulment of all those elections.”
