The Asutifi South District Assembly has successfully conducted the swearing-in of Unit Committee Members, the election of Area Council Members, and the formal inauguration of the Area Councils at Dadiesoaba and Nkasiem.
The ceremonies, held at the respective community centres, brought together newly elected local representatives, traditional authorities, Assembly officials, and residents. The events marked a significant step in strengthening local governance and deepening community participation in the district’s development process.
During the programme, newly elected Unit Committee Members were officially sworn into office, taking oaths of allegiance and office as required under the Local Governance Act. This was followed by the election of Area Council Members, who will support the Assembly in coordinating local issues, mobilising communities, and ensuring effective service delivery at the sub-district level.
Addressing the gathering, Assembly officials commended the commitment of the new local leaders and emphasised the critical role they play in promoting grassroots development. The inauguration of the Area Councils officially empowers them to begin operations, deliberate on community concerns, and collaborate with the District Assembly on planning and development initiatives.
The Assembly expressed confidence that the newly constituted councils will work in unity with stakeholders, traditional authorities, and residents to foster progress, enhance accountability, and promote inclusive governance across the district.
The Asutifi South District Assembly extends its congratulations to all sworn-in members and encourages them to uphold the trust placed in them as partners in local development.
