Assembly members of the Talensi District in the Upper East Region have rejected the President’s nominee, Christopher Boatbil Someteima, for the position of District Chief Executive.
Out the 32 Assembly members that were expected to vote, 30 turned up and voted. A total of 19 Assembly members voted “YES” and 10 voted “NO”. One Assembly member though present, didd not vote.
The nominee, Christopher Boatbil Someteima, therefore failed to poll the required two-third of the votes to become the District Chief Executive.
He has been rejected on his first attempt, and has the second chance to get the Assembly members to vote for him when a new date is set for the confirmation exercise.
The Upper East Regional Minister, Rockson Ayine Bukari has therefore pleaded with the Assembly members to confirm the Nominee on the next confirmation date.
Before his nomination, the President’s nominee for the Talensi District Chief Executive, was a Lecturer at the Bolgatanga Polytechnic.
