A financial expert, Dr David Kofi Wuaku, submitted his nomination on Monday in Ho to vie for the Council of State position representing the Volta Region.
In an interview with the Ghanaian Times following his clearance by the Electoral Commission, Mr Wuaku stressed his commitment to attracting investments that were in harmony with the region’s distinctive resources and strengths, thereby ensuring sustainable development for its inhabitants.
He said the role extends beyond mere advisory functions, necessitating collaboration with local Assemblies to propel the region’s development.
Furthermore, he asserted that his candidacy was accompanied by a definitive promise to foster economic transformation, empower the youth, and enhance grassroots involvement in governance.
Drawing from his rich career spanning over 20 years at the Bank of Ghana and more than a decade in consultancy, Dr Wuaku promised to harness his experience and networks to bringing development to the region.
“My vision resonates with the aspirations of many in the region,” he noted.
He said his understanding of governance structures put him in a strong position to facilitate effective partnerships.
“As a committed member of the NDC and a known figure in the region, I will work with every appointee to ensure that the Volta Region receives its fair share of national development. This is our time to come together and build a brighter future for all,” Dr Wuaku said.
Moreover, he consequently urged the assembly members participating in the vote to select a leader who not only possesses experience but also demonstrates a dedication to transforming the Volta Region into a symbol of advancement within the nation.
The elections are expected to take place today, with approximately 13 candidates having registered for the competition.
