  • Creating New Regions in Ghana: Populist Or Rational Pathway to Development?
    Creating New Regions in Ghana: Populist or Rational Pathway to Development? Ransford Edward Van Gyampo Department of Political Science, University of Ghana Email:[email protected] DOI//http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/gjds.v15i2.1 Abstract The proposal for regional re-organisation and the creation of four additional ones seem feasible and has the needed popular support. Using archival sources and data from the IEA-VOTO Survey, the paper undertakes a thorough and detailed analysis of the processes leading to the creation of additional regions, and reveals imponderable challenges likely to be encountered. It argues that popular support for governmental policy proposals is not necessarily coterminous with feasibility, effectiveness and relevance. The paper therefore examines the feasibility and relevance of the proposal for the creation of additional regions in Ghana and proffers policy recommendations to re-focus the attention of policy makers on the critical challenges and barriers to rural development and how they could be effectively tackled. Keywords: New Regions, Ghana; Campaign Promise, Cost, Development Introduction In the lead up to Ghana’s 2016 General Elections, the flag bearer of theN ew Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo made several promises to Ghanaians. Notable among these promises is the creation of additional regions to ensure effective administration and the devolution of power NPP( Manifesto, 2016). Upon the assumption of power as the elected President of Ghana in January 2017, Nana Akufo-Addo gave indications that four (4) new regions would be created beginning from 2018 to bring the total number of regions in Ghana to fourteen. Per the campaign promise, the process towards the creation of a new region out of the current Western Region to be called the Western North Region is to be initiated.
