The ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it intends increasing the number of the country's administrative regions to fifteen (15) when the party is given a second term in the upcoming December General Elections.
President John Dramani Mahama announced this when he delivered highlights of the NDC'S yet-to-be-outdoored manifesto at the Banquet Hall, State House, Tuesday evening.
"We will set up a commission of enquiry to look into the creation of new regions. We currently have ten regions; but we believe that it is possible to increase the number of regions to 15. And so we will set up a commission of enquiry that will look at the viability of increasing the number of administrative regions in Ghana from ten to fifteen. And so this commission will receive petitions and based on that, they will look at whether creation of those regions are viable options or not; and based on that recommendation, we will trigger the constitutional processes," President Mahama said.
The president’s promise comes at a time when the flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, has promised to increase Ghana’s ten regions to 11, by creating another region, out of the Western Region.
More soon....

I DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING JOHN SAYS...
I think mr president you know at the back of your head you are a gonna. Because you sound so unconvincing. and it looks like stealing from the little info the NPP has let out. How come your people said there is no money to create 11th region yet you would look into creating 15. Where are you going to get the money for the tablets when you cannot provide common chalk. I have now decided to change camp no more buying your l.ies
Stealers
You elected your flagbearer Nana Addo for many years now but you can't show your manifesto and plans. You've engaged in thousands of tours and "promising as you go" campaign. Stop making noise and show us your manifesto which you can't put together after almost 3 years in opposition. John Development Mahama toaso!
npp people must read well before writing, creation and certain commission to ascertain possibility are not the same. if some one say i will "create" is a certainity but someone say "i will set commission to ascertain it feasibility, it means probability. come stop these politics and speak to the matter.
Nebuchadnezzar!!! Oh ma boss Manama, this One pass dea it be China styley from npp"s idea of 11 regions in Ghana. I beg
pleas we Jehovah witness need one pig head for one kingdom hall.pufta with no brains lead us
Creating more regions is not job creation. The president has no brain and for that matter I will lend him my head. What does creating jobs and making our economy strong got to do with more regions ? isn't it obvious that, the NDC intend to create those regions to give portfolio to their political appointees to steal more money instead of working on the dead economy.Anyway,they will NOT WIN so that in it self is DEAD ON ARRIVAL.
Nana promised one more region and NDC people said Nana wants to divide Ghana and that it cannot be done. Now they are promising 5 more. People cannot pay for power and now Mahama wants them to charge a tablet for studies? So for this NDC want us to believe they thought through these policies. Aboso glass factory closed down due to electricity bills then, can they pay today's tariffs? When glass made in China is a fraction of the cost.Mahama and his ***barred word*** brigade shout remember to repair Nsawam because lots of them will end up there in 2017. NDC enough chop chop
Now I know, 2012 election was rigged ...... They can't stop stealing because they were born out of it...SHAME Mahama and NDC....Idi*ts
