The youth in the Techiman North District in the Bono East Region has appealed to President Akufo-Addo, to consider the good works of Hon Peter Mensah, the District Chief Executive (DCE) of the area, and retain him in his second term.
According to the youth, their DCE performed extremely well in his first term of President Akufo-Addo’s administration and they are optimistic he will do even much better for the area if he is being maintained.
