Tensions Flare in Binduri as DCE Nominee Rejected, Assembly Member Reportedly Assaulted
BINDURI, UPPER EAST REGION – April 24, 2025 — Tensions erupted in the Binduri District on Thursday following the overwhelming rejection of the President’s nominee for District Chief Executive (DCE), leading to an alleged physical assault on a key assembly member.
Samuel Azure, the newly elected Presiding Member and Assemblyman for the Kaadi Electoral Area, was reportedly assaulted shortly after a vote of no confidence was passed against the nominee.
According to eyewitness accounts, the attack took place moments after the confirmation process ended in a decisive vote against the President’s appointee, whose identity has not yet been disclosed. The motive behind the assault remains unclear, though many suspect it is tied to the volatile political atmosphere surrounding the DCE nomination.
As of now, no arrests have been made and the identities of the assailants remain unknown. The Binduri District Assembly and local police have yet to issue an official statement on the incident or the next steps for the DCE appointment.
Political analysts say the incident highlights growing unrest in local governance, especially in districts where political loyalties and development concerns frequently clash.
The rejection of a DCE nominee is often interpreted as a major political statement by the assembly members, and in some cases, a reflection of the broader dissatisfaction with central government appointments.
More updates are expected as investigations continue.
