Corporal John Evans Ayerakwa Kumordzie, a policeman who resigned from the Ghana Police Service in 2019 to campaign for President John Mahama, has been confirmed as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Akuapem North.
His confirmation follows President Mahama’s nomination of 33 individuals as Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) for the Eastern Region.
He secured 32 'YES' votes against 16 'NO' votes, representing 66.7 percent of the valid votes cast.
John Kumordzie previously resigned and contested as the parliamentary candidate on the ticket of the NDC in the 2020 elections but lost to Dan Botwe in Okere.
Again, in 2024, Kumordzie, 40, relocated to the Akuapem North constituency and contested but lost to NPP's Sammy Awuku.
The officer, in 2019, tendered his resignation letter to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), David Asante-Apeatu, in accordance with the Police Service Act.
Following his confirmation, the Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Awatey Adjei, led him to swear the oath of office and secrecy.
