The Tano South District Coordinating Director and acting District Chief Executive, Mrs Ahia said it is imperative to elect a PM to facilitate subsequent confirmation of the President’s nominee for the position of District Chief Executive for the smooth administration of the District in order to achieve the needed development.

The election which started with three contestants including Hon John Dadzie, Hon Rebecca Abebrese and Hon Opoku Boabeng ended with two after Hon Rebecca Abebrese threw in the towel after the second round.

But even a third contest between Hon John Dadzie and Hon Opoku Boabeng could not produce a winner. Hon John Dadzie polled Thirty Seven (37) votes to Eighteen (18) for Hon Opoku Boabeng which indicated that none of the two contestants gained the two- third (2/3) majority of votes.

The election was therefore postponed indefinitely.
