Ben Abdallah Alhassan, Municipal Chief Executive - Asokore Mampong District
About Asokore Mampong District
Asokore Mampong Emerges as a Growing Urban Hub with New Leadership and Transformative Projects
Located northeast of the Kumasi Metropolis, Asokore Mampong shares its boundaries with Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, Kwabre East Municipal, and Ejisu Municipal. Despite its compact land size, the municipality houses a vibrant population of 191,402 residents across ten electoral areas, including Asawasi, New Zongo, and Aboabo No.1 and No.2. With a near-even gender distribution, it continues to grow as an influential part of the Ashanti Region.
The confirmation of Ben Abdallah Alhassan as Municipal Chief Executive marks a new chapter for local governance. Endorsed by 17 out of 18 assembly members at an emergency session, Alhassan assumes office amid both support and dissent from within the National Democratic Congress in Asawase.
His role as NDC Director of Research and Elections underscores his experience, while his confirmation signals a resolve to tackle sanitation challenges, infrastructure gaps, and social discipline.
Development in Asokore Mampong is unfolding rapidly, anchored by major projects like the construction of a modern Assembly block and fire station to enhance public service delivery.
The Agenda 111 Hospital at Adenyase is on course for completion in November 2024, promising improved healthcare access for residents. The ongoing Technical and Vocational Training Centre project equips youth with employable skills, reinforcing local economic growth. Complementing these efforts, gender-friendly sanitation facilities—built under the GKMA initiative—have transformed hygiene standards in schools and public spaces.
Member of Parliament Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak has called for unity and action among stakeholders, urging the new leadership to prioritize development across communities. Asokore Mampong's strategic location, rising infrastructure, and focused governance signal a municipality on the rise.
