Mahama’s Return is a Blessing to Democracy - Hon. James Gunu

​The Volta Regional Minister, Hon. James Gunu, has addressed the growing frustration among citizens who feel their democratic participation since the inception of the Fourth Republic in 1992 has yielded little development. Speaking during the official handing-over ceremony of a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound at Nyravase-Tengekope in the Keta Municipality, the Regional Minister urged residents not to lose faith in the democratic process, describing the re-election of President John Dramani Mahama as a defining blessing for grass-root development. 

​Acknowledging the genuine grievances of voters who feel neglected over the decades, Hon. James Gunu noted that democratic governance only truly fulfills its promise when leadership prioritizes human-centered infrastructure. He emphasized that while voters in many communities have expressed disillusionment over years of unfulfilled assurances, the current administration under President Mahama is structured to bridge the gap between promises made on campaign platforms and tangible projects delivered directly to rural doorsteps.

​The newly commissioned CHPS compound at Tengekope serves as concrete proof of this commitment, offering vital basic healthcare, maternal care services, and emergency attention to local residents who previously had to travel long distances for medical assistance. Hon. Gunu underscored that projects of this nature demonstrate why civic engagement remains crucial, reassuring the chiefs and community members present that their political choices are finally paying off through direct development initiatives. 

​Reaffirming the government's mandate for equitable growth across the Volta Region, the Regional Minister called on the public to support ongoing state policies and safeguard local infrastructure. He concluded that the return of President Mahama marks a renewed era of accountability and progress, proving that voting remains a powerful instrument for positive change when placed in the hands of visionary leadership.
