THE NEW Patriotic Party (NPP) says it has extended the mandate of its executives to the six newly created regions.
President Akufo-Addo from Tuesday 12th February to Friday, 15th February, presented the Constitutional Instruments giving effects to the new regions at the Jubilee House in Accra. “Nalerigu has been chosen as the capital of the North East region” President Akufo-Addo has named Nalerigu as the capital town of the North East Region
An intense ‘fight’ has ensued over the siting of the regional capitals in the newly-created regions.
Six regions namely- Western North carved out of the Western Region, Ahafo and Bono East carved out of the Brong Ahafo Region, Oti carved out of the Volta Region, as well as the North-East and Savannah carved out of the Northern Region would come into existence by Friday, according to Regional Reorganisation and Development Minister, Dan Kwaku Botwe. An intense ‘fight’ appears to be ensuing in the newly created regions over the siting of the regional capitals following the just-ended referendum which many have described as ‘successful.’
‘YES’ voters voted massively in support of creation of six new regions in some parts of Ghana following a referendum Thursday.
A total of 206,350 YES votes representing 99.7 per cent and 647 NO votes representing 0.3 per cent out of the total votes cast of 207,343 were recorded in the Savannah area of the Northern region. According to the Electoral Commission, a total of 346 votes were rejected. |
