Ho is the capital of the Volta Region, and the **Ho Municipal Assembly** is the local government authority that administers the town and its surrounding communities — with its main administrative offices and the Ho Municipal Assembly Hall serving as the civic heart of the municipality. **The Assembly itself.** Ho was elevated to municipal status in 2004 (it had been a district since 1988), and it sits within the Volta Regional Coordinating Council structure. Like all Ghanaian MMAs, it is headed politically by a **Municipal Chief Executive (MCE)** appointed by the President with the approval of the Assembly members, and administratively by a **Municipal Coordinating Director (MCD)**, the career civil servant who runs the day-to-day machinery. The Assembly is made up of elected assembly members (from the electoral areas), government appointees, and the Member of Parliament for the area as an ex-officio member. Its sub-structures include the usual statutory sub-committees — Finance & Administration, Works, Social Services, Justice & Security, Development Planning — plus the Urban/Town/Zonal councils beneath it. **Civic buildings and landmarks.** The town's civic identity clusters around a few key spots: - The **Ho Municipal Assembly Hall / Assembly offices**, the seat of local government and venue for Assembly sittings and public hearings. - The **Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC)** offices in Ho — because Ho is the regional capital, the municipality hosts regional-level government machinery, not just municipal. - The **Ho Central Market**, one of the biggest trading hubs in the Volta Region and a major civic-economic anchor. - The **Ho Teaching Hospital** (formerly Ho Regional Hospital, now a teaching hospital affiliated with UHAS) — a major public health institution. - The **University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS)**, whose main campus is in Ho, giving the town a strong educational and institutional character. - The **Ho Sports Stadium** and the **Ho Airport** (Ho–Kpando area), both public infrastructure serving the wider region. **Context.** Ho is often called the "land of the mountain" — it sits at the foot of **Mount Adaklu**, and it's a predominantly **Ewe** town, with Ewe as the everyday language alongside English in official Assembly business. It's also known as one of Ghana's cleaner, calmer regional capitals, with a strong civil-service and education presence. If you're after something specific — the name of the current MCE, a particular building's address, or a service the Assembly provides (permits, property rates, business registration) — tell me which and I'll go deeper. For the very latest office-holder, the Assembly's own channels or the Volta RCC would be the authoritative check, since MCE appointments do change.
