The Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, has said that President John Dramani Mahama has already indicated that he is resetting Ghana.
“Therefore, he needs a very strong Council of State to give him good counsel and direction in all spheres of governance,” mentioned Rita Awatey.
“Rita Aawtey urged the Assembly members to approach this exercise with integrity and respect for one another and let the results of this election serve as a reminder of our shared responsibility in building a stronger, more united Ghana.
According to her, it is instructive to mention that this election is in fulfillment of the Constitutional requirement set out in Article 89 (2) (c) of the 1992 Constitution, which provides for the election of regional representatives to the Council of State to serve for a term of four (4) years.
Akosua Awatey added that through this process, we ensure that every region is fairly represented and that we continue to strengthen our democratic institutions.
Beyond being a constitutional requirement, this election is also a testament to our commitment to deepening democratic governance in our beloved country. It is, therefore, incumbent upon us all to conduct ourselves with great dignity.
The Eastern Regional Minister stressed that at the end of the day, only one person will emerge as the winner to represent the Eastern Region.
She then assured Ghanaians that the Electoral Commission is ready and that the election will be conducted in a manner that is fair, transparent, and peaceful. Our collective commitment to these values and our resolve to play by the rules of the election will give meaning to the fact that every vote counts and that the outcome will truly reflect the will of the people.
