John Mahama Revokes All MMDCE Appointments in Ghana
President John Dramani Mahama has officially revoked the appointments of all Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in Ghana, effective from January 8, 2025.
This move comes as one of his first actions after being sworn in as Ghana’s 6th President on January 7, 2025.
The revocation was communicated through a letter signed by Dr. Callistus Mahama, the Executive Secretary to the President, to the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation, and Rural Development.
As a result, the Coordinating Directors of the various MMDAs have been directed to assume responsibility as acting Chief Executives until substantive appointments are made.
This decision is part of Mahama’s strategy to reorganize local governance in alignment with his administration’s policy objectives.
