Legon Cities boss Richard Kings Atikpo, the incumbent member of the Council of State for the Oti Region, has been re-elected after a dominant electoral victory.
He polled 16 out of 18 total votes cast.
Mr. Atikpo defeated seven other aspirants, including former Deputy Minister for the Volta and Oti Regions Maxwell Quophy Blagoge.
The Council of State plays a crucial role in advising the President of Ghana on matters of national importance, and Atikpo’s experience and insights will undoubtedly contribute to the council’s effectiveness.
His retention is seen as a positive step for the Oti Region, as he brings continuity and stability to the council’s operations.
His leadership will be pivotal in navigating challenges ahead and ensuring that the voices of the people are heard at the national level.
