The President\u2019s District Chief Executive nominees for Gushiegu and Bunkprugu\/Yunyoo districts in the Northern Region, have been out-rightly rejected by the assembly members in their respective areas.<\/p>\n
Both Yakubu Abdulai for Gushiegu and J.K Alhassan for Bunkprugu today [Thursday], failed to secure 50% of the total votes cast.<\/p>\n
In the case of the failed Gushiegu DCE nominee, Yakubu Abdulai polled nine out of 32 votes cast.<\/p>\n
His counterpart in Bunkprugu\/Yunyoo, J.K Alhassan, secured 17 out of 32 votes cast, which fell short of the requirement to warrant a second round voting.<\/p>\n
The President would have to replace the two failed nominees to serve the people’s interest. The Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Saeed described their rejection as unfortunate.<\/p>\n
He however commended residents of the two districts for using the confirmation processes to reject the nominees. Salifu Saeed called for peaceful co-existence to attract investors and development partners to the areas.<\/p>\n
So far, the majority of the remaining 25 MMDCE nominees including those for Sagnarigu, Yendi, Zabzugu, Tatale-Sanguli, Ygaba-Kubori, Nanumba north and Nanumba south have been confirmed.<\/p>\n
