The Vice President and the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Maha­mudu Bawumia, has assured chiefs and people of the Ho Municipality that the government will soon upgrade the Ho Municipal Assembly to a met­ropolitan status to facilitate rapid development.

Dr Bawumia said the necessary measures were being put in place to achieve the objective of upgrad­ing the municipal assembly to the status of a metropolitan.

The Vice President gave the assurance when he inaugurated an office complex funded under the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) for the Ho Municipal Assembly to round up his four-day campaign tour of the Volta Region on Wednesday.

According him, the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo led NPP government had provided infra­structure throughout the country, which could not be compared to the records of any government and the Volta Region had its share of the development.
