Former Member of Parliament for Kumbungu Alhaji Muhammad Mumuni has been elected as the Northern Region’s representative on the Council of State.
He secured 26 out of 32 votes cast in the election that was held today, Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
The former Member of Parliament for Kumbungu served from 1996 to 2004 and also served as Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister.
He defeated other contenders; Richard Andani Yakubu, Nyande Abdul Raqb, and Adam Hussein polled 4, 2, and 0 votes, respectively.
Speaking to the media after he was declared the winner, he said, “I have performed in many aspects of government. Right from Assemblymember to being a presiding member. I have served in two cabinets, in the Rawlings and Mills cabinets, and I have been a running mate. I believe Northern Region could not make a mistake with the person they are sending.
“I have no doubt that I will contribute my quota, experience, and the knowledge that I have gathered along the way to enhance the work of the Council of State in helping the president to administer this country. The reset agenda is truly on,” he stated.
