The first phase of Municipal and District Chief Executive nominees\u2019 confirmations ended today in the Volta Region with 9 out of the 25 nominees suffering rejections from their assembly members.<\/p>\n

The 9 causalities, including three females, were all rejected after failing to meet the requirement of a 2-third approval of the assembly.<\/p>\n

Madam Millicent Kabuki Carboo, Miss Ella Boateng and Mrs Josephine Ohene-Boateng, nominees for the Biakoye, South Dayi and Adaklu districts respectively, were outrightly rejected by members of the various assemblies.<\/p>\n

The trio, apart of failing to meet the 2-third approval, could not manage a 50 percent minimum vote to afford them a second round of voting.<\/p>\n

Their male counterparts, Collins Arku, Emmanuel Louis Agama, Andrews Teddy Ofori,Leo Nelson Adzidogah of North Tongu, South Tongu, Hohoe and Akatsi South respectively suffered similar fate.<\/p>\n

While the nominee for Kpando Mr Elvis Kweku Djampoh, who was initially rejected narrowly, escaped rejection today [Wednesday] after the second balloting, his Hohoe neighbor, Mr. Teddy Ofori, after two rounds of voting, could not secure the required 29 votes, representing the stipulated 2-third majority of the 44-member assembly.<\/p>\n

The nominee, who polled 24 votes in the first round, after an intense lobbying led by the Deputy Regional minister, Maxwell Blagodzi, was still 2 votes short of the 2-third requirement in the second round which was held within an hour.<\/p>\n

Two others David Dickson Dzokpe and Prince Sodoke Amuzu of Agortime-Ziope and Akatsi North respectively still have a second chance for balloting.<\/p>\n

The President in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act appointed 25 persons to represent in each of the local assemblies in the Volta Region.<\/p>\n

The nominations are however subject to the approval of the members of the respective assemblies.<\/p>\n

It is unclear what might have contributed to the stiff rejections but keen political observers suspect plots largely orchestrated by failed aspirants from the various assemblies against the President\u2019s choices.<\/p>\n
