Presiding Members across the Volta Region convened in Ho for their 2025 Annual Conference on the theme: “Resetting Local Leadership for National Rebuilding: Advancing Decentralization, Participation, and Sustainable Development.”
The three-day conference aims to deepen collaboration between Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MDCEs) and Presiding Members (PMs) to enhance effective local governance.
Delivering the keynote address during the opening ceremony of the conference, Mr. Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple, Volta Regional Representative to the Council of State and Special Guest of Honour, emphasized the urgent need to reorient local leadership.
“Ghana’s progress depends on functional local governance. National policies only become meaningful when they yield tangible results in our communities,” he noted.
He urged presiding members to take a proactive stance in redening leadership at the local level.
“Citizens across communities like Agotime, Keta, Sogakope, Ho, and Aao expect more than meetings and promises. They want jobs, better infrastructure, and improved
services,” he stressed.
