Reverend Atta Mensah has been nominated to serve as the MCE for the Effutu Municipal Assembly, while Gariba Adam has been proposed for the same position at the Assin Central Municipal Assembly.

This announcement was made on May 28, 2025, by the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs.
