Amoh Kamel has been officially confirmed as the new Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Asokwa Municipality.
In a unanimous decision, all 12 assembly members and 6 government appointees cast their votes in favour of Kamel, resulting in a remarkable 100% approval.
On May 6, 2025, President John Dramani Mahama appointed 40 new nominees for MMDCEs, bringing the total to 41 in the Ashanti Region, with just two more positions remaining to be filled following the endorsement of the President’s nominee for the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.
The Ashanti Region is home to 43 Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs).
In his acceptance speech following the overwhelming confirmation, Amoh Kamel expressed his gratitude to the President and all stakeholders for the opportunity to serve.
He pledged to harness the potential of a 24-hour economy to transform the Municipality through job creation and enhanced security, among other initiatives.
Kamel also emphasised his commitment to supporting local livestock owners, given the importance of their businesses to many families’ livelihoods.
He stated that he would not adopt the strategies implemented by Kumasi Mayor Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi on stray animals as that could jeopardize these enterprises, but would take proper measures towards addressing the challenge.
Prior to his nomination as Municipal Chief Executive, Amoh Kamel served as the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for the Asokwa constituency.
