Why some NDC constituency executives want Mahama to sack Nanton DCE

Some constituency executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Nanton District of the Northern Region have petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to remove the District Chief Executive (DCE), Rosina Abdul Rahaman, over allegations of incompetence and actions they say undermine the party’s credibility.

According to a December 2, 2025, report by citinewsroom.com, the executives argue that the DCE’s continued stay in office threatens the party’s electoral fortunes in the district.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Mohammed Sharif accused the DCE of diverting agricultural inputs meant for vulnerable farmers under a key government support initiative.

He alleged that subsidised fertiliser supplied through the Savannah Agriculture Value Chain Development Project was diverted and sold to private retailers under the DCE’s directive.

“About 600 bags of subsidised fertiliser allocated to the district were diverted and sold to private retailers under the direction of the DCE,” Sharif claimed, the report said.

He stated that the alleged diversion had eroded the trust of farmers, describing them as a critical support base for the party in the district.

“This act is a betrayal of the trust of our farmers. It is a departure from the NDC’s principles of accountability and an act of corruption that has angered the very people who stood with the party in difficult times,” he indicated.

The report added that the executives have, therefore, appealed to President John Mahama to intervene and appoint a new DCE, whom they believe will help restore confidence and advance the party’s development agenda in the district.

They maintain that immediate action is necessary to prevent further damage to the party’s reputation ahead of future elections.
