The Wa East district assembly in the Upper West Region has confirmed Ameen Salifu, as the District Chief Executive for the area.
At an emergency assembly meeting held at Funsi, 19 out of the 25 members voted in favour of Mr Salifu while six voted against.
The election which was delayed as a result of intensive lobbying of the assembly members was however peaceful.
In a speech, the new district chief executive appealed for peace and unity to enable the district progress in its development agenda.
He promised to work in collaboration with other stakeholders who have the district at heart.
Mr Salifu thanked the assembly for the confidence reposed in him and called for total cooperation from the assembly members.
The Upper West Regional Minister, Mr Mahmud Khalid, commended the assembly members for endorsing the nominee.
He advised the assembly to support the nominee by working above ethnic and political consideration.
Present at the assembly meeting were the regional chairman of the NDC, Mr Issahaque Malik, a member of council of state, Naa Seidu Braimah, a former member of parliament for Wa Central, Mr M.A Seidu and a host of NDC supporters.
