Michael Kpakpo Allotey takes over as Mayor of Accra after securing 100% approval from Assembly Members.
Michael Kpakpo Allotey has been unanimously confirmed as the new Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA).
He secured a resounding endorsement by Assembly Members during a Special General Assembly Meeting held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the Accra City Hall.
He polled all 30 valid votes cast, representing 100 per cent, to be confirmed as mayor, surpassing the two-thirds majority required under Section 20 of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936).
The election was conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC).
Greater Accra Regional Minister, Hon. Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, supervised the voting process.
She had earlier admonished the Assembly Members to uphold their constitutional mandate by confirming the president’s nominee for the position of metropolitan chief executive (mayor).
She underscored AMA’s strategic importance, describing it as “the centre of Greater Accra”, and urged the members not to let politics hinder progress.
Speaking after he had been officially confirmed, Mr. Allotey thanked Almighty God and expressed his profound appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for appointing him as mayor.
