Margaret Naana Ackom has been unanimously confirmed as the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Gomoa East, making history as the first woman to hold the position since the district’s creation.

All 18 members of the assembly—comprising elected representatives and government appointees—voted in favour of her nomination, giving her a 100% endorsement during the confirmation exercise.

In her acceptance speech, Madam Ackom expressed deep appreciation for the confidence shown in her and pledged to work collaboratively with assembly members, traditional leaders, and stakeholders to bring meaningful development to the district.

“I’m humbled by the trust placed in me. I will work tirelessly to bring development to every corner of Gomoa East,” she stated.
