VOLTA REGION WOULD GET A FAIR SHARE OF APPOINTMENTS UNDER PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA'S GOVERNMENT

I have taken notice of concerns raised by the good people of the Volta Region, including Chiefs and NDC members, on the fears of Volta not being considered for the right quota of appointments.

For the avoidance of doubt, I want to put on record that Volta Region will be considered for appointments in the new NDC administration without fail.

His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, the President has taken cognisance of our loyalty and hard work, as the only region securing over 90% of the votes for the NDC.         

Winning all the 18 seats, including recapturing Hohoe, we also reduced the influence of the NPP by 47% in the Volta Region resulting in the emphatic victory secured in 2024 general elections.

As such, our meaningful contributions shall be rewarded accordingly.

While we look forward to other opportunities in appointments, I urge the rank and file of our party to exercise some level of restraint and be considerate in our expectations.

Be rest assured that leadership shall continue to work hard in the interest of the party and the people of the Volta Region so far as appointments are concerned.
