MMDAs to be inaugurated on February 6

The Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation, and Rural Development has set February 6, 2024, as the official inauguration date for all Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs).

In a statement, the ministry said this followed the successful conduct of the District Level Elections (DLEs) in December 2023 and the subsequent election of new Assembly Members for various MMDAs.

“Following the successful conduct of the District level Elections (DLEs) in December 2023 and the subsequent election of new Assembly Members for various Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development in consultation with the Office of the President has slated February 6, 2024, for the inauguration of all MMDAs across the country,” it stated.

In light of the forthcoming District Assembly inaugurations, the Ministry has instructed all MMDAs to be in a state of preparedness and to implement the necessary measures as outlined.

“Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Coordinating Directors (MMDCDs) are thus directed to hold the fort and ensure smooth operations in all MMDAs until the new Assembly Members are sworn into office and all Assemblies are duly inaugurated,” it added.
