The president of the group, Nii Ayifio Tetteh said that appointing natives as MCE or DCEs had been the trend since late President Mills’ administration.
President Nana Akufo-Addo has pledged to make the position of MMDCEs electable by 2018.

This, he said, was to strengthen the local governance system and offer Ghanaians the opportunity to choose who they preferred to represent their interest as Chief Executive in the Assembly.
He has since asked all MMDCEs to vacate their post with immediate effect.
But ahead of the elections, the president of the Ga-Dangme Youth said he has picked up signals which indicate that some non-Ga-Dangmes were lobbying for the positions.
He said the group will not agree to that as development in the Greater Accra Region could only be achieved if Ga-Dangmes are given those positions.
“We have helped Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and he is now the first gentleman of the land. Whatever he told us he is going to do, we are going to find out if he will stand by his words. If he keeps his words, we are going to vote for him again. But if he disappoints Ga-Dangmes, we are going to vote him out of power, we want someone who can push the Ga Dangme agenda for us...now it’s time to elect MMDCEs...we are pleading with Nana Addo Dankwa and his authoritative medium that we don’t want any non-Ga Dangme like an Akan, Voltarian, Northerner, who is not a Ga-Dangme to be appointed as a MCE or DCE on Ga-Dangme land. If not so, we are going to organise a demonstration," he told Accra-based Joy FM.

He said, “Although the NDC government disappoint us when we talk of Ga-Dangme issues, President Mills and former president, all of their DCEs and MCEs were all Ga-Dangmes.”
