Flagbearer of the largest Ghanaian opposition party, National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has promised to provide all the six newly created regions with a regional hospital each when he wins the 2020 elections.

The Former President who is in Bono East for a two-day working visit to the newly created region made the statement after the inauguration of an office complex for the Bono East Region of the NDC.

Mr Mahama announced: “It has remained our policy as NDC that every region must have a well-functioning regional hospital. When we assume government in 2021, therefore, I want to promise you the people of Bono East Region and all the other five newly created regions, that we shall begin the construction of six new regional hospitals in the regions”,

He further noted that the NDC has never been a party that lies to the people.


“We don’t make wild promises we know we cannot and would not be able to fulfill”, he sais, adding that “my promise of new regional hospitals will be fulfilled.”

Mr Mahama will be interacting with various groups, pay courtesy calls on traditional leaders and spend time with executives and supporters of the NDC in the region as part of his visit.

Addressing the chiefs and people, Mr Mahama assured that the NDC will not forget its development-oriented philosophy when it wins the elections, but will rather focus on a more rapid development of the country’s social infrastructure.

The Leader of the NDC also urged the newly elected Bono East Regional Executives to work hard and ensure that the party wins all the parliamentary seats in the new region.

The new Bono East Regional Office was donated by the Regional Chairman, Unas Owusu, to the party.

Mr Mahama also presented two vehicles to the region to help with their operational and administrative works.

“I expect that the vehicles will be well maintained and used for the purpose for which they’ve been presented”, he advised.
