President Akufo-Addo has appointed 26 new District Chief Executives (DCEs) to replace 24 others who were sacked on Friday, February 2.
In a letter of revocation on Friday, February 2, the President explained his decision is in accordance with Article 243 (3) b of the Constitution and section 20 (3) (b) of the Local Government Act, 2014, (Act 936).
The sacked DCEs include Daniel Owuredu of Nkoranza North, Elizabeth Kaaki Mann of Ga East, Patrick Kumor of Weija-Gbawe, Alhaji Abdulai Adams of Pru East and Dorcas Elizabeth Amoah of Nzema East.
It is unclear why they are being sacked.

The appointment letter signed on Saturday, February 3, said, the appointment is "pending their approval by their respective assemblies."
They include Prince Dormaa Amoah of Ahafo Ano North, Samson Gbolu of Sene East, Felix Owusu Gyima of Nkwanta South and Jacob K Dumakawe among others.
