President John Dramani Mahama is set to continue his nationwide Resetting Ghana Tour with a two day visit to the Central Region on June 26 and 27, 2026, as part of an ongoing effort to engage citizens directly and assess the progress of key government initiatives across the country.
The announcement was confirmed by the Central Regional Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress, Miss Gabriella Doris Tetteh, who stated that the President would begin the regional leg of the tour later this week.
She noted that further details regarding the itinerary and planned activities would be communicated in subsequent notices. The visit forms part of a broader nationwide exercise that has taken President Mahama to several regions since the launch of the Resetting Ghana Tour.
The initiative serves as a platform for direct interaction between government officials and citizens while also providing an opportunity for the President to inspect ongoing development projects and gather feedback on policies being implemented under his administration.
A Nationwide Drive for Citizen Engagement
The Resetting Ghana Tour has emerged as one of the government’s most visible public engagement initiatives since President Mahama assumed office.
Covering all sixteen regions of the country, the programme combines project inspections with community interactions, allowing residents to voice concerns and contribute ideas on national development priorities.
Accompanied by sector ministers, local government officials, and regional leaders, President Mahama has used the tour to evaluate infrastructure projects, monitor government interventions, and explain key policy objectives directly to communities.
The approach reflects the administration’s commitment to participatory governance, with town hall meetings and stakeholder engagements forming a central component of each regional visit.
Through these interactions, traditional leaders, opinion leaders, youth groups, traders, and residents are allowed to discuss local challenges and propose solutions.
Government officials have repeatedly stressed that the exercise is intended not only to showcase development projects but also to ensure that public policies remain responsive to the needs of ordinary Ghanaians.
Focus on Infrastructure and Economic Growth
Across the regions already visited, President Mahama has placed considerable emphasis on infrastructure development and economic transformation.
The tour has provided a platform to inspect roads, schools, healthcare facilities, and market projects aimed at improving livelihoods and stimulating local economic activity.
In the Savannah Region, the President inspected work on the Sawla to Wa Highway and the Bole to Tinga road project. He also cut the sod for the Bole Twenty Four Hour Economy Market and inaugurated the Mahama ICT Centre in Damongo before engaging residents and students at Ndewura Jakpa Senior High School.
In the Eastern Region, President Mahama addressed workers during the National May Day Parade at Jackson Park in Koforidua. He also launched the Asesewa Twenty Four Hour Model Market project and initiated the construction of hostel and multipurpose hall facilities at the SDA College of Education.
The Northern Region tour featured engagements with traditional authorities, inspections of planned development projects, and discussions on the government’s economic agenda.
A major town hall meeting at the University for Development Studies in Tamale brought together residents and policymakers for extensive dialogue on development priorities.
The President also began the national tour in the Bono Region, where he cut the sod for a Twenty Four Hour Economy Model Market in Dormaa Ahenkro and inspected the proposed site for the Bono Regional Airport near Sunyani.
Central Region Visit Expected to Highlight Key Priorities
Although the full programme for the Central Region visit has not been released, the President is expected to continue discussions on economic recovery, infrastructure development, and the implementation of the government’s flagship 24-Hour Economy policy.
The initiative remains one of the administration’s key economic strategies, aimed at expanding commercial activity, creating jobs, and increasing productivity through extended business operations and modern market infrastructure.
The President is also expected to use the opportunity to interact with local stakeholders, inspect development projects, and assess the implementation of government programmes within the region.
The Central Region, which remains an important economic and educational hub, is likely to feature prominently in discussions around investment, infrastructure, and employment opportunities.
Strengthening Public Confidence
Beyond project inspections, the Resetting Ghana Tour has become a significant avenue for rebuilding public trust and strengthening communication between government and citizens.
By engaging communities directly, the administration seeks to demonstrate accountability while obtaining firsthand information on challenges facing various regions.
Government officials maintain that the feedback received during these engagements continues to shape policy decisions and guide the allocation of resources across sectors.
As President Mahama prepares to begin the Central Regional leg of the tour, residents and stakeholders will be watching closely for announcements and commitments that could influence development priorities in the region.
With the tour already making stops across several parts of the country, the Central Region visit represents another opportunity for government and citizens to engage on issues affecting livelihoods, economic growth, and national development.
