Their dismissal was contained in a letter dated Friday, February 2, 2024.
The letter signed by President Akufo-Addo announcing the revocation of the appointments quoted Article 243 (3) (b) of the 1992 Constitution and Section 20 (3) (b) of the Local Government Act, 2016, (Act 936).
"I write to inform you that I have revoked the appointments of the following persons as District Chief Executives" the letter stated.
In another letter dated Saturday, February 3, 2024, new nominees to fill the vacancies created were also announced by President Akufo-Addo.
The letter revoking the appointments does not state the reasons for the dismissals.
But in political circles, there are discussions suggesting that some of these district chief executives made attempts or contested or secretly or openly were involved in the just ended parliamentary primaries of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) which elected candidates to fill parliamentary slots of the NPP in the December 7, 2024 parliamentary elections.
Before the contest, the NPP issued a directive that asked all metropolitan, municipal and district chief executives not to challenge sitting members of Parliament in the contest. They were also asked not to openly support candidates.
