CONGRATULATIONS – Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey (Mayor of Accra)
ACCRA, Ghana – In the bustling capital where concrete meets culture and streets whisper stories of resilience, a new dawn emerges. The appointment of Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey as Mayor of Accra by His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama signals more than a leadership transition—it is a strategic turning point in Ghana’s vision to reset and redefine urban governance.
Overseeing Accra Metropolitan Assembly, including Ablekuma South, Okai Koi South, and the iconic Odododiodoo, Mayor Allotey steps into the helm at a time when Accra needs not just administration but imagination.
Under the Resetting Ghana Agenda of the NDC, his office must become a lighthouse of discipline, digitization, and dignity in the capital.
Leadership in this space is not about wielding authority with flair—it’s about steering a complex city with integrity. The Mayor’s desk will be flooded not only with files but with expectations. Drainage, waste management, hawker regulation, zoning reform—these are not municipal tasks alone; they are moral mandates to make Accra liveable and loveable again.
This is not about painting over problems. It’s about planting new possibilities.
“It is possible for the lion and the eagle to coexist—not because they see the world the same way, but because they understand the power of strategic unity. When purpose is greater than perception, even the fiercest leaders find common ground.”

Three Streets and a Mayor
In the early hours of dawn, when most of Accra still sleeps, three old women sweep in silence. Their names are lost in the noise of the city, but they live in Ablekuma South, Okaikoi South, and Odododiodoo—three of the most symbolic yet struggling corners of the capital.
In Ablekuma South, gutter water overflows like a forgotten promise. Plastic bottles swim where children should play, and kiosk clusters block the dreams of clean streets. Here, the problem isn’t just waste—it’s the waste of potential.
In Okaikoi South, traffic fumes blend with roasted plantain smoke as traders spill onto sidewalks, making it easier to buy a yam than to walk without a hustle. Regulation has become suggestion, and suggestion has become chaos. The people want order—but without being shoved into silence.
And in Odododiodoo, where the spirit of old Accra still drums in alleyways and lingers in kenkey pots, the challenge is deepest. Choked drains, political nostalgia, and generational neglect mix like a slow poison. The people are loud, proud, and tired. They’ve heard enough speeches. What they want now is sweat, strategy, and streetlights.
And then, enters Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey.
He doesn’t wear a cape. He wears expectations.
To clean Accra again, he must do more than clear refuse. He must reset how people relate to space—from the hawker to the homeowner, from the trotro driver to the city planner. He must sanitize without brutalizing, reform without alienating, and bring clarity without confusion.
He must digitize property data, enforce sanitation bylaws, revive waste segregation programs, and form community-led “Clean Accra Brigades” with monthly reward systems.
But above all, he must walk the streets. Not just in convoy—but in sneakers. Talk to the sweepers. Listen to the fishmongers. Hear the heart of Accra beat—and respond with boldness.
Because a clean Accra isn’t a miracle—it’s a mayoral mindset.
The Resetting Ghana agenda is real. And Mayor Allotey, you are now one of its architects.
We wish you wisdom, strength, and a fearless commitment to Make Accra Great Again—one bold step at a time.
In conclusion, Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey, as you take on the role of Mayor of Accra, we trust your leadership will ignite the transformation our capital city needs. This is not just about cleaning Accra; it’s about restoring its greatness.
Leadership is a shared responsibility. We call on all citizens—from Ablekuma South to Odododiodoo—to unite behind you. For Accra to rise, we must work together.
When we stand united, there are no limits to what we can achieve. Accra’s success depends on the collective strength of its people. Let’s move forward with purpose and unity, building a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous city.
