The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has once again, been left without a Presiding Member after eight elections. The unopposed candidate for the Presiding Member position, Mr. Senya, was not elected by members of Assembly.
The election ended with 65 assembly members voting NO against Nana Kofi Senya, whilst 62 people voted YES.
Adumhene, Nana Baffour Adjei Kesse, stepped down earlier today [Tuesday], to allow Mr. Senya contest for the Presiding Member slot unopposed.
He however lost, rendering the assembly without a Presiding Member after five sittings on Tuesday.
Mr. Senya had refused to step down for other assembly members to be nominated for the presiding member slot. But after pleas, he eventually heeded the calls and stepped down.
Earlier on Tuesday, an Assembly member of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Abdullah Muaza, traded blows with a National Democratic Congress (NDC) serial caller, during proceedings to elect a Presiding Member for the assembly.
