The Kwahu East District Assembly, for the fifth time, has failed to confirm Mr Samuel Asamoah, the Presidents’ nominee as the District Chief Executive for the area.

Still after compassionate appeals by Mr Asamoah, Ms Mavis Ama Frimpong, the Deputy Eastern Regional Minister and other dignitaries present, the assembly refused to give Mr Asamoah the needed two-thirds majority.

Mr Asamoah this time around polled 18 out of 32 votes representing 57 per cent, while 14 members voted against him representing 43 per cent in an election conducted by Mr Eric Mensah Bonsu, the Deputy Regional Electoral Officer.
