Joshua Asumeng Badu, a seasoned political figure and loyal party supporter, has expressed his strong desire to serve as the next District Chief Executive (DCE) for the Akyemansa District in the Eastern Region.
With a Bachelor of Science degree in Logistics and Supply Chain and an extensive background in political service, Badu brings a unique combination of leadership, dedication, and grassroots experience that positions him well for the role.
Badu’s political career began in 2010 when he was elected Assembly Member for the Mempedwee-Anafuo Electoral Area in Akim Ofoase. Since then, he has steadily risen through the ranks of local political leadership, holding significant positions such as the Constituency Chairman of Ofoase-Ayirebi from 2014 to 2022 and serving as Campaign Coordinator for the 2020 general elections.
His contributions to the party’s development have been both significant and personal. He has offered his guest house for Executive Committee meetings, fully financed constituency programs, and rented and furnished a party office. His selfless efforts have been essential to the party’s grassroots operations.
During election years, Badu consistently provided campaign materials, snacks for agents, and financial support to keep the party’s machinery running smoothly.
Having contested parliamentary primaries twice, Badu’s commitment to his party remains steadfast. Most recently, he was part of the Regional Monitoring Team during the 2024 limited registration exercise.
Badu’s bid for the DCE position is not just a political ambition but a commitment to driving development in Akyemansa through visionary leadership and a deep understanding of local governance.
Those familiar with his record believe Badu is not only a capable choice but an extraordinary one, poised to transform Akyemansa with results-oriented leadership.
