President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has granted Executive approval for the reclassification of certain districts into municipalities and some municipalities into metropolises.
This decision follows a request from the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralization, and Rural Development (MLGDRD) and aligns with the provisions of Act 936, which governs local government structures in Ghana.
As a result, specific municipal and district assemblies have now been officially upgraded, subject to the completion of all necessary legal and administrative procedures.
The decision regarding the elevation of Ho Municipal to a Metropolis, as well as the proposed upgrading of Offinso North and Birim North Districts to Municipalities, is still under review.
Additionally, petitions for the creation of new districts are being carefully considered for the necessary actions.
