La, Accra, Ghana - 09 May, 2025 - In a bid to diffuse rising hostilities,key players in the La Dadekotopon Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) race are being implored to exercise restraint following rejection of President Mahama’s nominee.

 "We've had productive conversations with assembly members, listening to their concerns and offering guidance. Unity is key."

 "Someone must lead for our collective success and I'm committed to that,'' he added.
