The 41-year old professional teacher was overwhelminly endorsed by all the 41 members present. Assembly members in the district rejected the two term former member of parliament for the area, Alhaji Iddrisu Alidu Zakaria manage to get 11 votes.
The assembly members maintained until a neutral person is nominated, they would not confirm him.
The new DCE is believed to be unknown to many people in the area, hence his endorsement.

The Northern Regionsl Minister Alhaji Mohammed-Muniru Limuna before the confirmation appealed to the assembly members not disgrace him like they did some three months ago.
The minister also told the assembly members that if they made him 'cry' they will also cry during the upcoming district level election schedule on 3 March 2015 where all of the assembly members are seeking re-election.
Alhaji Limuna advised the DCE elected to be people centered and not to allow himself to consume by the position he is occupying.
The election was supervised by the Deputy Regional Director of Electoral Commission, Benjamin Bayobio.
Earlier this month, the chief of Wungu traditional area, Wungu Naa, Alhaji Sulemana Saaka Zooni appealed to the president through the local government minister to appoint a DCE for west mamprusi district assembly.
The chief said the absence of the DCE is affecting the development of the area. The west mamprusi DCE was sack by the president last year.
But the Chief said the area needed a DCE who would facilitate the development of the West Mamprusi District.
