The district of Greater Accra, which also serves as a district, is made up of the traditional Ningo region and the traditional Prampram region.
Mr. Jonathan Teye Doku, District Director of Ningo-Prampram, revealed this information Thursday at a public meeting in Old-Ningo.
Mr. Doku revealed that this initiative was intended to pave the way for a petition to the government to give Ningo residents their own district.
"The traditional chiefs wrote an official letter to the EC to divide the constituency, and the answer was that it would be examined, but the time had not yet come for the creation of new constituencies", he said. -he declares.
He explained that this decision followed a government opinion addressed to traditional chiefs who wished to have their own district because they were not satisfied with the choice of Prampram as administrative capital of the Ningo Prampram district badembly. .
In 2012, when the district was separated from Dangme West District at the time, Ningo residents led by politically active young men engaged in a series of demonstrations to protest against Prampram's choice as the administrative capital .
They disengaged themselves from the process and authority of local governments by adopting a number of strategies, including to prevent NIPDA revenue managers from settling in the region, which would have resulted in the closure of the local government. local area council.
Traditional leaders in the region have also refused to participate in Assembly programs at Prampram.
