President Akufo-Addo, then a candidate in 2016, promised that MMDCEs will be elected. Although timelines were not very specific, he said the current group of MMDCEs would be the last to be elected; thus before 2020. However, the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Hajia Alima Mahama, at a recent forum hinted that the elections will be held in 2021. But addressing the press on the matter, Dr. Ndoum said government’s U-turn is a dent on its credibility. He charged President Akufo-Addo to make good his promise.
