Some youth of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Okere Constituency in the Eastern Region have kicked against the District Chief Executive (DCE) Nominee for Okere District *Eric William Ayettey* who was on Tuesday 29th April 2025 nominated by the President of Ghana H.E John Dramani Mahama.
Addressing the Media at Adukrom, *Oscar James* NDC Branch Youth Organizer at Asenema stated that, the DCE Nominee who is the current Chairman for the constituency never joined the Parliamentary Candidate (Prince Owiredu ) to participate in the activities of the 2024 elections in the constituency except when National or Regional Executives came to the area.
They also alleged that the Nominee brought a lot of divisions among party members which prevented the party from winning the seat for many decades in his tenure as party chairman so why will such a person be nominated to lead the district.
Therefore they are appealing to NDC authorities to take a second look at the appointment of the Current Chairman as DCE and Consider the 2024 Parliamentary Candidate *Prince Owiredu* as the DCE for Okere District.
Some of the NDC Party Members in Okere also spoke to the media on why they are protesting against the DCE Nominee *Eric William Ayettey.
