On Wednesday, April 23, 2025, tensions flared up in the Binduri District of the Upper East Region due to the President’s nominee for District Chief Executive (DCE) being dramatically rejected.
According to reports, Samuel Azure, the recently elected Presiding Member and Assemblyman for the Kaadi Electoral Area, was allegedly attacked shortly after the passing of a vote of no confidence against the nominee.
According to eyewitnesses, the supposed attack occurred immediately following the assembly’s apparent rejection of the President’s nominee. Although the reason for the attack has not been verified, it has sparked fears about escalating political strains in the area.
The identities of those responsible for the attack and the specific details of the incident are still unclear. Currently, local authorities have not released an official statement regarding the situation.
The Binduri District Assembly has not yet announced its action plan after the unsuccessful DCE nominee’s confirmation.
