The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has maintained Hon. Musah Ziyad as its Presiding Member (PM) following a fresh election, held one year after he assumed office to complete the unexpired term of his predecessor, Hon. Alfred Asiedu Adjei, who resigned.

Hon. Ziyad, who is also the Assembly Member for the Amamomo Electoral Area, secured a unanimous endorsement, polling all 30 votes cast, representing 100 per cent of valid votes.

He was subsequently sworn into office by Circuit Court Judge, His Honour Jojo Amoah Hagan, after being declared duly elected by the Deputy Greater Accra Regional Officer of the Electoral Commission, Victoria Yakuba.

In his remarks following the swearing-in, Hon. Ziyad expressed gratitude to Assembly Members for the renewed confidence reposed in him, describing the unanimous vote as a strong endorsement of his leadership.

He emphasised the importance of unity and collaboration in advancing the Assembly’s work, noting that sustained progress could only be achieved when members worked together towards a shared vision.

According to him, while many members had individual expectations and concerns, there was a need for sincerity and collective commitment to the development agenda of the Assembly.

He urged members to remain focused and dedicated, adding that the Assembly had the potential to achieve significant results if all stakeholders contributed their part.

Hon. Ziyad also acknowledged the support of the Coordinating Director, party executives, and other stakeholders, stressing that their collective efforts had contributed to the Assembly’s progress over the past year.

Hon Ziyad was hopeful that the coming period would bring even greater achievements, noting that future engagements would serve as an opportunity to assess the impact of their work.

The event was attended by Presiding Members from neighbouring assemblies, including Korle Klottey, Ablekuma Central, and Ablekuma North, as well as party members and other stakeholders.

The Presiding Member of the AMA is responsible for presiding over meetings of the Assembly and ensuring the orderly conduct of its business, making the position critical to the effective functioning of the city’s governance structure.
