The nominee for the position of Metropolitan Chief Executive for Cape Coast Metropolitan, Ernest Arthur has finally been endorsed by Assembly Members.
Mr. Arthur who have been rejected on two occasions, made it through narrowly on Sunday October 17, 2021, after another rounds of polls.
He polled 45 of the “YES” votes to be confirmed as Metropolitan Chief Executive of Cape Coast, a position he held from 2017.
Mr. Arthur failed to meet the two-thirds majority in the second vote held on Wednesday October 22, 2021 polling 40 ‘Yes’ votes out of 65 Assembly members who took part in the confirmation vote.
Despite losing out, the Presiding Member of the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly, Nana Awuku, ordered another round of voting which was rejected by the assembly members.
But on Sunday October 17, 2021, Mr. Arthur who needed only a minimum of 42 out of 65 votes, sailed through to be confirmed.
Eighteen others voted “No”.
