Ransford Owusu Boakye, the First Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Eastern Region, has been officially confirmed as the new Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for New Juaben South.
In a unanimous show of confidence, Owusu Boakye secured all 49 votes from assembly members, representing a full 100% endorsement.
Before his confirmation, he served as the Eastern Regional Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), a position that earned him recognition for his leadership in disaster preparedness and emergency response.
Looking ahead, Owusu Boakye is poised to make history as the first Mayor of the New Juaben Metropolitan Assembly pending the completion of all legislative requirements.
This potential milestone follows the executive approval for the elevation of several administrative areas, including the transition of New Juaben South from a municipality to a metropolis.
