Tight security as Bole MCE nominee faces confirmation
A heavy security presence has been deployed at the Bole Municipal Assembly ahead of the confirmation vote for Abdulai Mahamud as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE).
The confirmation exercise, scheduled for today, Monday, May 12, 2025, will see 39 delegates casting their votes.
This development follows heightened tensions in the Bole Municipality in the Savannah Region, where, on Friday, May 9, scores of aggrieved youth staged a protest against Mahamud’s nomination.
The demonstration, which saw protesters accuse authorities of ignoring local voices in the selection process, forced the postponement of the initial confirmation.
In response to concerns over potential disruptions, security has been significantly tightened around the assembly premises.
Journalists have also been denied access to the venue, as security personnel enforce strict control measures to maintain order.
