The youth of Bole in the Savannah Region have registered their discontentment over President John Mahama’s nominee for the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) position for the area.
In a viral video shared by 3News on X, on Friday May 9, 2025, the visibly agitated group of young men are seen burning car tyres on the streets to protest the nomination of Abdulai Mahamud as the (MCE) for Bole.
The demonstrators could also be seen chanting slogans and burning tyres, citing a lack of consultation and dissatisfaction with previous leadership.
This is the second time residents have publicly expressed their disapproval of Mahamud’s nomination.
According to a report by 3News, the protests have created tensions in the community, prompting authorities to indefinitely postpone the confirmation ceremony, which was initially scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
Local government officials say the postponement is necessary to allow for further dialogues and engagements with the disgruntled youth.
Security personnel and community leaders are reportedly working to restore calm and order.
