‘Techimanhen’ elected Council of State Member for Bono East
A High Court in Sunyani on Friday, February 12,
2021 placed an injunction on the conduct of the
Council of State Elections in the region.

Consequently, the region could not partake in the
nationwide elections organised by the Electoral
Commission (EC) for the 16
politically-administrative regions to elect a
representative each to serve on the Council of
State.

Three Assembly Members of the Atebubu-Amantin and
Kintampo North Municipal Assemblies sought the
court order because their names were excluded from
the Bono East Regional Electoral College of the
2021 Council of State Election.

But the High Court on Friday, February 19, 2021
lifted the injunction for the election process to
commence.

Accordingly eight out of 10 contestants who had
earlier filed nominations to contest the elections
later pulled out of the competition, leaving one
Mr Agyapong Adu-Baah, a trader and Oseadeeyo
Ameyaw IV.

Two members each from the four Municipal and seven
District Assemblies in the region formed the
Electoral College of 22 voters and Oseadeeyo
Ameyaw IV emerged the winner with all 22 votes.

In his victory address, Oseadeeyo Ameyaw IV
thanked his opponent and those who pulled out to
pave way for the smooth process of the election.

He also expressed profound gratitude to the
Electoral College members and entire residents of
the region and promised not to betray the
confidence reposed in him but would conduct
himself as a worthy member of the Council and
contribute effectively for the progress of
particularly the region and the country in
general.

Oseadeeyo Akumfi Ameyaw IV is a banker by
profession and works with the GCB Bank Limited. He
once worked with the Sunyani main branch of the
Bank and also served as its area Manager in
Techiman.
