President John Dramani Mahama has nominated 10 individuals for consideration by Parliament for regional ministerial appointments. The list has been submitted to the Speaker of Parliament and includes nominees for key regions such as Greater Accra, Ashanti, Volta, Northern, and others.
The nominated individuals are:
- Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo (Greater Accra): Member of Parliament for Shai Osudoku.
- Mrs. Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey (Eastern).
- Ibrahim Tia (North East).
- Dr. Frank Amoakohene (Ashanti).
- Akamugri Donatus Atanga (Upper East).
- Charity Gardner (Ahafo).
- Salisu Bia (Savannah).
- Adolf John (Northern).
- John Kwadwo Gyapong (Oti).
- James Gunu (Volta).
Of the nominees, all except Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, the Greater Accra representative, are regional executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Mrs. Ocloo serves as an MP rather than an executive, reflecting a unique selection for Greater Accra.
Six regions—Western, Western North, Central, Bono East, Bono, and Upper West—still await nominees. The process for these nominations is expected to follow soon.
Parliament will assess the nominees’ qualifications and suitability for the positions through its vetting process.
