Alfredos Nii Anyetei secured only 5 out of the 14 votes
A group of concerned members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the La Dade Kotopon Constituency has formally appealed to President John Dramani Mahama and the appointing authorities to renominate Alfredos Nii Anyetei as Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the La Dade Kotopon Municipal Assembly.
Their appeal comes after Anyetei failed to secure the required votes for confirmation during a crucial assembly election held on May 6, 2025. Out of 14 votes cast, he garnered only 5, falling short of the number needed for endorsement.
Despite the outcome, the group maintains that Anyetei remains the most competent and visionary leader to steer the affairs of the municipality. Citing his service as a Constituency Youth Organiser, the group described him as “a pragmatic leader whose commitment to development, accountability, and participatory governance has transformed the community.”
“Under his leadership, we witnessed significant improvements in the Constituency, youth empowerment, and stakeholder engagement across La Dade Kotopon,” the group said in a statement.
The group praised Anyetei’s ability to maintain productive relationships with traditional leaders, opinion influencers, and assembly members, which they believe contributed to a peaceful and united atmosphere within the municipality.
“His dedication to serving the people with humility and competence has left a lasting positive impact that we, as concerned party members, cannot ignore.”
The concerned members argue that his performance in office and popularity among constituents warrant a second chance. They have, therefore, urged President John Dramani Mahama to renominate Alfredos Nii Anyetei for the MCE role.
“We believe that with his reappointment, La Dade Kotopon will continue to progress and thrive under responsible and inclusive leadership,” the group emphasized.
