Mahama reaffirms commitment to Volta Region during ‘Thank You Tour’

President John Dramani Mahama took the opportunity to reaffirm his commitment to the Volta Region, a region that has long been a pillar of support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Mahama himself On January 24, 2025, during his “Thank You Tour” in Ho, former

“The Volta Region has always been a beacon of support for the National Democratic Congress, my party, and indeed myself.

It has been a stronghold for Ghana’s democratic progress since 1992,” Mahama began, setting the tone for his message of gratitude and hope for the future. The region’s unwavering loyalty to the NDC and its significant role in Ghana’s democratic journey was a central theme of his speech.

Mahama didn’t just express appreciation for the past; he also acknowledged the challenges that have plagued the Volta Region, particularly years of neglect and alienation, often attributed to its political affiliations.

“Your immense contribution to the success of our party and my election as president of the Republic of Ghana is a testament to the strength of the bond that exists between us.

We cannot talk about Ghana’s progress without acknowledging the vital role the Volta Region has played in shaping the course of our history,” he stated, emphasizing the deep and historical connection between the region and the NDC.

However, he didn’t shy away from addressing the region’s grievances. The Volta Region has often felt sidelined in the national development discourse, a sentiment Mahama acknowledged with empathy.

“We also acknowledge your challenges, years of neglect, and alienation from the development of our country due to your political choices.

But I stand here to assure you that this narrative will change,” Mahama assured his audience.

His promise to ensure that the Volta Region receives its fair share of national development resonated with the crowd, signalling that his vision for the region’s future would prioritize equitable growth and progress.
