The Volta Region's massive endorsement of President John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 general elections - with a resounding 90.12% of the vote - was not accidental, but a decisive statement of belief in tested leadership and a vision that speaks directly to the region's aspirations.
This was the strong message delivered by Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, during a courtesy call on President Mahama at the Presidency on Thursday.
The visit, led by the Volta Regional Minister and the Volta Regional House of Chiefs, was aimed at discussing regional development and renewing the region's partnership with the new government.
According to James Gunu, the region's backing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flagbearer stemmed from three clear reasons: confidence in Mahama's seasoned leadership, the relevance of the NDC's development blueprint, and a political history rooted in tangible progress under NDC governments. "We were inspired by the unmatched leadership experience and proven track record of President Mahama - a statesman who understands the soul of this nation and has consistently delivered when it mattered most," James Gunu stated.
