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.

I now understand very well why Npp delayed their manifesto. So these people with their naafuu, they don't have brains, mouth, mouth setting the records straight when Dr Bawumiah talks but they never bring out any new ideas for others to deliberate on. Tweeaaa! Only f*ols will vote for these people. 1 district 1 factory ndc said it's not feasible, then ndc proposed 1 house 1 meter. 1 village 1 dam ndc said ooh we've started that, Western will be carved into 2 regions Western North and said it's impossible now they are going to create 15 regions, they know they can't do it but for political reasons for votes they will say it, ndc do not have that big brains to implement nothing only copy cat. Shame on you, nothing new in their manifesto except what Nana has been saying on his campaign. SHAME ON YOU. John mahama didn't learn nothing in Parliament for the 12 years, it's a big shame to even say this man was once a Parliamentarian. NDC,MPs don't read and don't learn, won mo abon s3 momone, tweeeaa! Chew and pour degree holders, their education is of no use and benefit to Ghana, kriminals, thi*ves, they ste*l everything including brain work, what sort and kind of people are these? There is no department or field an ndc is doing well, you can not single out just one person as efficient.

NDC for you. Is it not the same NDC surrogates who said, creating two regions for Western Region was not feasible. Now from ten to fifteen. Interesting times ahead as far as NDC is in power. Is this not INCOMPETENCE?
