\"\"<\/a>The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) on Wednesday failed to elect a Presiding Member (PM) for the second time as none of the two contestants got the required two thirds votes of 93 to be declared winner.<\/p>\n

Out of the 129 membership of the assembly, 128 members cast their votes to give the incumbent Presiding Member, Mr Desmond Addo-Biney, 68 votes and the other contestant Mr Daniel Ashiaku Akushey, a retired banker, 52 votes.<\/p>\n

At their previous sitting on April 9, this year, the AMA failed to elect a PM when Mr Addo-Biney, pulled 76 votes as against 52 votes by Mr Akushey.<\/p>\n

Mr Addo-Biney said he was not perturbed but expressed hope that he would be elected during the third time of voting.<\/p>\n

His main challenger, Mr Akushey, said he was sure of victory to lead the assembly to achieve its vision and mission for the metropolis.<\/p>\n
