The Atiwa District Chief Executive (DCE) fell at the district Independence Day parade and was rushed in an ambulance to an unknown destination.
Emmanuel Atta Twum was said to have collapsed when reading his speech at the Kwabeng Presbyterian park today in Atiwa in the Eastern region.
Today's incident happens to be the third time the DCE has collapsed at a public function.
Twum collapsed at the district's Farmers Day celebration December last year when delivering a speech.
He fell again in Koforidua and was rushed to the Eastern Regional Hospital in Koforidua during a meeting with the Eastern Regional executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He was said to have fallen when responding to accusations of neglect by his constituency executives.
