The former NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Obuasi East, Mr. Samuel Aboagye, has expressed full confidence in the newly confirmed Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Obuasi East, Hon. Adzowu Kofi William. Speaking on the Ghana Nti Morning Show with Obarima Kwadwo Gyamfi on Aseda FM, Mr. Aboagye stated emphatically, “I trust Hon. Adzowu Kofi William to deliver.”
Mr. Aboagye, who contested the 2020 and 2024 general elections on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) but was unsuccessful, currently serves as the Director General Protocol/Relief at the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO). According to him, his confidence in the new MCE stems from years of working closely with him and witnessing his dedication and commitment to the development of Obuasi East.
Unanimous Endorsement
Hon. Adzowu Kofi William, who has served as the NDC Secretary in Obuasi East since 2012, was overwhelmingly endorsed by the Obuasi East Municipal Assembly as the new MCE on Thursday, March 15, 2025. In an election supervised by the Electoral Commission, Hon. Adzowu secured a unanimous 28 out of 28 votes — a clear testament to the confidence reposed in him by Assembly Members.
A Victory for Unity
Delivering his acceptance speech, Hon. Adzowu expressed heartfelt gratitude to the President of the Republic, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, for the opportunity to serve. He also extended appreciation to the traditional authorities (Nananom) and Assembly Members for their unwavering support, describing his confirmation as “a victory for unity.”
“This endorsement is not a personal victory but a call to service, and I promise not to rest on my oars,” he assured.
Plans and Priorities
The newly confirmed MCE outlined an ambitious agenda aimed at transforming the Municipality. Key among his priorities are:
- Rehabilitation of inner roads across the Municipality to improve access and transportation.
- Completion of the Assembly’s Administration Block, which is vital for the efficient operation of the local government.
- Relocation of the Timber Market to Boete Senet to ensure a more organized and spacious environment for timber dealers.
- Construction of an alternative road network to ease traffic congestion and enhance smooth vehicular movement across Obuasi East.
Hon. Adzowu reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive governance and promised to engage all stakeholders in his quest to bring sustainable development to the Municipality.
