18 members voted for the DCE nominee Mr. Mahamoud Forkor, whilst 12 members voted against him with one rejected ballot. This fell short of the two-thirds majority required for confirmation of the nominee.

Speaking after the elections, Mr. Forkor said he has probably not interacted with the assembly members enough and therefore called for their support during the next round of voting.

The standing orders of the Assembly allow for a nominee who obtains more than half of the members’ votes to have a second of confirmation in 10 days
