Dr. David Kofi Wuaku, one of the thirteen candidates for the upcoming Council of State election in the Volta region, has unveiled a comprehensive plan aimed at amplifying the voices of local communities and driving tangible development across the area.
At a recent press briefing, the self-described “dedicated son of the region” outlined his mission to ensure that every level of government hears the concerns of Volta’s people.
Drawing on more than 20 years in the banking sector and a decade of consultancy across various industries, Dr. Wuaku emphasized that his extensive experience and wide-ranging network in finance, investment, and governance position him well to contribute to national and regional progress. His vision goes beyond the advisory role of the Council of State. Instead, he plans to collaborate closely with local MPs, traditional chiefs, and assembly members to spearhead initiatives that could unlock significant job opportunities, particularly in sectors such as information technology, engineering, and agribusiness.
Dr. Wuaku’s agenda also includes a vigorous push to transform the region’s tourism industry and enhance educational infrastructure, with a special focus on technical and vocational education. He argues that such improvements are essential for fostering a modern local economy that benefits all communities, particularly the youth who are eager to contribute to Volta’s growth.
While the role on the Council of State may be advisory, the implications of Dr. Wuaku’s campaign have stirred considerable debate. Skeptics question whether his ambitious projects can overcome the entrenched challenges in the region, noting that real progress will depend on the effective coordination of multiple stakeholders. Supporters, however, are encouraged by his track record and the promise of fresh, innovative approaches to long-standing issues.
With the election scheduled for Tuesday, 11 February 2025, and 36 Electoral College members set to participate, the outcome in the Volta region is poised to influence future development policies. Dr. Wuaku’s candidacy, marked by a blend of experience and forward-thinking ideas, has already sparked a renewed conversation about the path to progress in Volta, leaving many to watch closely how his vision might reshape the region’s future.
