Assembly Members of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly have pledged their support for the Mayor, Alfred Oko Vanderpuye as partners in development.
In a statement released in Accra Friday, the Assembly members urged the Mayor to continue to demonstrate his passion for development to ensure the Assembly makes tremendous progress.
Below is the press statement
We the Assembly Members of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly wish to congratulate the Mayor for the re-nomination.
We believe this re-nomination has come largely due to the good developmental works that the Mayor together with us (the Assembly Members) has achieved over the past four years.
The total eradication of the school shift system by building 500 temporal structures, the building of 74 millennium city school- 3 storey 18 classroom blocks with computer and science labs, the community upgrade project in the areas of road networks, street lights and drains, the implementation of the Electoral Area Project, the instrumental role played in obtaining the 663 million dollars Accra Sewage Project and a clean audit report just to mention a few are the various contributing factors to which this re-nomination has been achieved.
We further wish to entrench that the mayor must continue to demonstrate his passion for development by ensuring that the metropolitan Assembly continues to make tremendous progress in the focus areas and target set by the assembly. The successful completion of all ongoing projects, the implementation of the 2013 electoral area project and increase in Revenue mobilization are among such key areas that Honorable Assembly Members wish to see massive improvement.
We also wish to seize this opportune moment to make a solemn call to the few assembly members who previously stood oppose to the mayor's re-nomination to all come on board and join hands in the one thing that unite us as Honorable Members, which is our passion to develop Accra. We believe that the mayor as he has always done will pay critical attention to your few concerns and alley your fears.
We Assembly Members finally pledge our full support to you Dr. Vanderpuye as partners in development as required of us by the law.
We also humbly wish to express our immense thanks and gratitude to the President of the Republic, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama for re-nominating Dr. Oko Vanderpuye as the Mayor of Accra.

Abdul Razak Issah - Assembly Member, Akweteman
