Max launched in Ghana

The Max team addressing the media

Max, a pioneer in commercial electronic vehicle technology for transport in Africa, has announced its entry into the Ghanaian market.

The move is aimed at offering commuting alternatives for drivers and people.

As part of this, they have announced the appointment of David Hoyme as Director of International Growth and Expansion.

Speaking to the media at Alisa Hotel on Friday, November 4, 2022, MrHoyme said Max was funded with the vision to provide affordable mobility to all riders in Africa.

He said that the quick adoption of Max in Nigeria is an indication that other markets are ready to receive the company.

He added that “Max is looking at introducing electronic vehicles into the African market, and it is great expectation for Ghana to be one of the key areas for this to be enrolled.”

Tolu Williams, Head, E-Mobility at Max, said, “The official rollout in Ghana is a necessary step on the mission to address the perennial problems around urban and rural mobility across the African continent.”

He said that Max had been able to establish a vehicle subscription service to address affordability for drivers and provide employment. He again said that features like the e-wallet and other benefits also sought to solve the problem of financial inclusion for operators in rural areas.

According to him, Max’s entry into Ghana and planned expansion to other countries was an indication of its readiness to help Africa embrace a feature of renewable energy driven by electric vehicles.

EC’s disqualification of Joana Cudjoe mischievous and disingenuous – NDC

The Head of Legal Affairs of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Edudzie Tamekloe, has described the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to disqualify the party’s parliamentary candidate for the Amenfi Central as mischievous and disingenuous.

Edudzie Tamekloe told Citi Breakfast Show host, Bernard Avle that the EC’s basis for the “disqualification is mind-boggling” because it was a party to an interlocutory injunction against the candidate, Joana Gyan Cudjoe’s election in the May 12 primary.

“The basis of the disqualification is the purported interlocutory injunction from the High Court in Sekondi which is extremely mischievous because clearly, the EC at all material times, was a party to the suit in the Sekondi Court,” he said.

According to him,“Each time we appeared before the judge in Sekondi, there was a representative for the EC and so the proceedings were known to the EC. When we annulled that election and decided to rerun it, they came to supervise the election and so for Samuel Tettey to refer to the injunction [in the disqualification] is completely disingenuous.”

An October 10 letter signed by the Deputy Chairman of the EC in charge of Operations, Samuel Tettey, informed Gyan Cudjoe of her disqualification, stating that the Commission is bound by the court order, which has neither been stayed nor vacated.

The NDC’s legal head also accused the EC of taking sides in the matter and disqualifying Joana from its volution:.

“When the EC opened filing, the party presented Joana as its nominee and thereafter, there was an indication that there was going to be the printing of the notice of poll, which was delayed and so we made enquiries and wrote a letter to the plaintiff and we thought this matter had ended, but on October 10, Samuel Tettey wrote a letter disqualifying Joana,” he added.

He concluded, “The EC cannot act like an octopus and move everywhere looking to disqualify a candidate whose election it supervised.”
