Messrs. Parke-Davis Magyigbe, of Jasikan, and Godfried Koffie of Guan scored 86 and 79 per cent respectively.

Before the confirmation process of the MDCEs at each of the assemblies, the government appointees of the assembly members were sworn into office by a Magistrate or Judge to constitute a full assembly. Assemblies without presiding members subsequently elected their respective Presiding Members (PM) before confirmation.

The Oti Regional Minister, John Kwadwo Gyapong, in his remarks at Jasikan as the first assembly to confirm her MCE in Oti appealed to the assembly members not to hesitate to give the nominee hundred per cent (100%) confirmation to set the tone for the rest of the assemblies in Oti Region to emulate.

He has been present at each of the assemblies, coordinated and monitored the confirmation process with the message that, the assembly members should vote responsibly to enable him to have the needed support to develop the region.

At each assembly, he said since the municipals and districts were where development starts from, they should put aside partisan consideration and vote responsibly on competency line.

Mr Gyapong said the Oti Region was a baby, and as such they had to come together and put their shoulders to the wheel to stimulate its total development.“Development does not know any political party so you should unite to make the Oti Region the winner,” he said.

He gave the assurance that his doors were open to everyone to ensure the successful implementation of government programmes and policies.

Hon. Gyapong always ended his remarks by tasking the newly confirmed MDCEs to work hard and closely with the people of their various assemblies to ensure the resetting of Ghana.

The MDCEs in their acceptance remarks thanked the assembly for reposing confidence in them through the confirmation and also pledged to listen, learn and strive to ensure development in their various MDAs and Oti at large.
