The Volta Region First Vice Chairperson of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has assured people of the Volta Region that all projects started by President Mahama in the region would be completed.
Dr Archibald Letsa says the citizenry stands to lose if projects being financed by the tax payers money are abandoned because there is a change of government.
At a media encounter prior to the President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's visit to Ho last Saturday Dr Letsa said the NPP government would ensure all ongoing projects are completed to the benefit of the citizenry.
"If a lot of money has been invested in a project and we see it as a viable thing that will benefit our people, we have to continue and complete it, he added.
He further said Nana Akufo-Addo would allocate a satisfactory share of national development to the Region to exhibit the party's commitment to the people.
"Whatever our share of the national cake is will be given to us, and those of us from the region will make sure we don't go back on our promises", he stressed.
Dr Letsa also debunked the misconception that people in the NPP from the Volta region would not be given appointments to serve in the Nana Akufo-Addo administration.
"Nana Addo is very committed to regional balance, every region is going to be very well represented in his government.
"I can assure you that we have competent people in all the regions and Volta Region is no exception and therefore the Region will be very well represented in Nana Addo's government," he explained.
Dr Letsa, the NPP Regional Chairman, John Peter Amewu together with other regional and constituency executives worked diligently ahead of the general elections which resulted in an increase of votes for the NPP in the region.
NPP had 17.56% of total votes in the 2016 presidential elections in Volta Region against 12.93% in 2012.

Your submission is INACCURATE. The market is a government project and is not funded by any traditional council or whatever. Please be grateful because HATES ingrates and that is exactly what you're exhibiting.
am sorry to inform the person saying Mahama is building the biggest market in Kumasi, that project is Kumasi Traditional council project and it was been spearheaded by Mawrehene on Kumasi, where from this Mahama is building a market at Kumasi. you have lost an election, its better for you to stay in opposition and support NANA ADDO, see this Voltarians no wonder Mahama said you have short memories was the most expensive project in the Kuffour era, Keta Sea Defence was in Daban his hometown. We Ghanaians are now wise we vote on issues not on tribal line. long live Ghana
VOLTA WON'T FALL FOR THE NPP AND AKUFO-ADDO EVEN IF THEY LAY GOLDEN ROADS IN THE REGION. PRESIDENT MAHAMA IS BUILDING THE BIGGEST MARKET IN WEST AFRICA IN KUMASI, 37 MILITARY HOSPITAL, EXPANDING THE AIRPORT INTO AN INTERNATIONAL ONE, ROADS, ETC IN KUMASI BUT THEY NEVER APPRECIATED THESE.
NPP must get at least 30% of the votes from volta in the next election..... We must stop following the corrupt NDC which always neglect our region in terms of development while we continue to vote for them.
