The Volta Region Member on the Council of State, Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple, has extended his gratitude to all the assembly members in the region who have rallied behind President John Dramani Mahama by unanimously approving his nominees for MMDCE slots.
He explained that the confidence shown by the assembly members is an indication of their belief in the wisdom of the president, particularly with regards his selection of representatives at the various district levels of the country.
Gabriel Kwamigah-Atokple made these comments on Friday, April 11, 2025, after he participated in the ceremony at which nominees for the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in the region were unanimously acclaimed.
Sharing his observations from the day in a post on Facebook, the Council of State Member described the activities as a forward-thinking approach for the region.
“I wish to personally thank all Honourable Assembly Members in the Volta Region for rallying behind the President’s nominees for Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) and confirmed them unanimously.
“Over the past weeks, our tireless Regional Minister and Regional Executives of the Great National Democratic Congress (NDC) witnessed the confirmation processes in various districts and municipalities. I must commend the unity, and forward-thinking approach that our Assembly Members have displayed so far. Their commitment is a clear indication that our Municipal/District Assemblies are ready to align with the President’s RESET agenda,” he wrote.
Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple also indicated that the success achieved in the region is testament of the fact that they are on the road to seeing the realisation of all the developmental hopes of their people.
He also expressed confidence in the competences of the newly-confirmed MMDCEs to deliver on their mandates, in line with President John Mahama’s vision for the country.
“Confirming the President’s nominees unanimously means we have moved from planning to action- delivering on roads, schools, health centres, sanitation, youth empowerment, and the many other initiatives our communities urgently need.
“I am confident that the MMDCEs will rise to the occasion and give their all to the development of various municipalities and districts across the Volta Region. Together, we can make Volta a model of unity-driven development,” he added.
