President John Mahama has assured the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and the people of the Ashanti Region that his administration will ensure the region receives its fair share of national development resources.

President Mahama expressed his gratitude to the Ashanti Region for its significant support in the 2024 elections, despite it being traditionally seen as an opposition stronghold.

He said this during his visit to the Manhyia Palace for the first Akwasidae Festival of the year 2025. "I want to use this opportunity to thank Asanteman.

Many might not consider this the stronghold of my party, but in this election, I believe that the confidence and the votes that the Ashanti Region gave us contributed to the overwhelming victory that I scored," President Mahama said.
