After announcing the list, the Local Government Minister, Mr Dan Botwe, has called for calm following the announcement of the list of the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).
He said the MMDCEs position is service to the nation hence, persons whose preferred choices were not selected should not engage in disturbances.
“The whole idea is service to the nation. So far, as I am concerned and all well-meaning Ghanaians know, this is aspiring to serve our motherland. If an opportunity has not been given to you to serve there cannot be any reason for disturbances.
“If truly you wanted to serve, then there is absolutely no basis for you to involve in disorderly conduct,” he said at a press conference in Accra while announcing the list.
