Effutu NDC Divided Over MCE Nomination: Celebration Meets Earlier Protest Effutu, Ghana – The nomination of Rev. Atta Mensah as Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) has sparked contrasting reactions within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Effutu. While some branch executives previously protested his appointment, a video surfacing online shows other members enthusiastically celebrating the decision.
