Mahama thanks Ahafo chiefs for backing NDC in 2024 election

President John Dramani Mahama has thanked the Chiefs and citizens of the Ahafo Region for their backing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 general election. During a visit to the Presidency, a delegation led by Nana Barima Twereku Ampem III conveyed their congratulations on Mahama's electoral triumph and praised his administration for supporting development projects in the area.

The President recalled meeting the traditional leaders warmly throughout his campaign and emphasized their assurance of support. The NDC secured five out of six parliamentary seats in Ahafo during the 2024 poll. Mahama reassured the chiefs that the region would receive its fair share of national development resources as the government accelerates progress in the newly formed regions.

Several roads in Ahafo have been included in the Big Push Infrastructure Development Programme, with further initiatives planned under its subsequent phase. He highlighted the government's efforts to fast-track development in the six newly established regions due to their lack of essential amenities. Mahama also acknowledged the role of traditional authorities in local governance and highlighted ongoing reforms to increase chiefs' participation in the decentralised system.

The economy under his administration is showing signs of improvement, with a focus on job creation and expanding opportunities for young people. Nana Barima Twereku Ampem III expressed gratitude for Mahama's development initiatives and applauded the establishment of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway, which will enhance connectivity between the two regions.
