*Political Parties should  Plan & Strategize for the Creation of the New Six Regions-----CVM*

Barring any adverse developments, the referendum to create six more Regions in Ghana will take place before the end of 2018.

The affected Regions are Brong-Ahafo, Volta, Northern and Western.

For effective administration,operations and organizational management of any serious Political Party, measures should be put in place ahead of the creation of the Six Regions such as:
1. Oti Region
2. Savannah Region
3. Western North Region
4. Ahafo Region
5. Bono East Region
6. Bono West Region

In accordance with Article 55 of the 1992 Constitution and the Political Parties Law 2000, (Act 574), Political Parties are mandated to have Regional Offices and Regional Executives to steer the affairs of the Party in each Region of Ghana.

Planning ahead of time, Political Parties should start getting themselves Regional Offices for the 6 New Regions to be created before the end of 2018.

Political Parties must have election modalities which will quickly deal with the issues that will arises as results of the creation of the new six Regions.

There is likelihood that the serious and the two main Political Parties such as the ruling NPP and largest opposition NDC will elect their Regional Executives before the Referendum to create the new six Regions will take place.

Political Parties should put measures in place so that the Aspirants who are vying for the Regional Positions will understand that immediately after the successful creation of the new six regions, their Positions in the affected regions will automatically ceased and as such fresh elections must be conducted for the respective regions.

For example, after the creation of:
1. Oti Region from Volta Region, new set of Regional Executives must be elected for these two Regions.

2.  Ahafo Region, Bono West Region and Bono East Region, new set of Regional Executives must be elected for these three Regions.

3. Savannah Region from Northern Region, new set of Regional Executives must be elected for these two Regions.

4. Western North and Western South will equally have two separate Regional Executives.

The members of Regional Delegates Conference or Congress, Regional Executive Committee, Regional Parliamentary Caucus, Regional Council of Elders and sub-committees for Political Parties in the affected Regions shall automatically change.

Those vying for the various Regional Executive Positions in Volta Region, Western Region, Northern Region and Brong-Ahafo Region should strategies very well in order to take advantage of the new six Regions to be created this year.
