The Chiefs and people of Wechiau in the Wa West constituency of the Upper West Region have promised to vote this time for the candidates of the NPP due to the party’s sustained commitment to the development of the area over the years.
According to the Chiefs, NPP flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s decision to formally “announce to us as your parents, that you are vying for the position of the President of Ghana” is further evidence of Dr Bawumia’s respect for traditional institutions,” and they would reward him in due course.
Naa Imoru Nandon Gomah II, Paramount Chief of Wechiau, gave the assurance while welcoming Dr Bawumia to his palace on Monday, July 22, 2024.
The NPP flagbearer was in the palace as part of his constituency-focused nationwide campaign tour, during which he engages with traditional authorities, religious and opinion leaders, the youth and all facets of society to shed more light on his vision for Ghana’s future.
Outlining the many benefits enjoyed by the people of the Traditional Area any time the NPP is in power, Naa Gomah II expressed gratitude to previous and current NPP administrations.
“Your Excellency, NPP Government since 2004 has given us a lot of developmental projects. The Wa West District was created by the NPP Government in 2004. The NPP Government has given us the biggest project, that is the Agenda 111 hospital project. The NPP government has also given us some dams and dugouts under One Village One Dam. The district has also received some roads. We have also benefitted from the Free Senior High School programme, as well as the School Feeding programme,” he stated.
The Paramount Chief of Wechiau pronounced his blessings on Dr Bawumia as he seeks to lead the nation, saying “As Chiefs, we can assure you of our support to enable you continue the good works of the New Patriotic Party Government after December 7, 2024. We wish you God’s blessings and protection.”
Thanking the Chiefs for their support, Dr Bawumia urged the people of the Wa West Constituency give him and the NPP the opportunity to build upon the gains made so far.
He added that “My vision for Ghana’s future will see us, among others, train our children for the future and equip our youth with the requisite skills to create jobs and compete favourably with their contemporaries across the world.”
The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
