The Western Regional Coordinating Council (WRCC) has its seat in **Sekondi-Takoradi** — specifically at the Residency in Sekondi, the twin-city capital of the Western Region. The Coordinating Council is the regional arm of central government, headed by the **Western Regional Minister**, who is the political head of the region and chairs the RCC. The RCC coordinates the activities of the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in the region, monitors development projects, and serves as the link between the districts and the Presidency through the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development. The Regional Coordinating Director is the chief administrative officer, heading the civil service staff of the council. Sekondi-Takoradi itself is Ghana's oil city — the twin cities of Sekondi (the older administrative and harbour town) and Takoradi (the commercial and port hub) merged into one metropolis. It is the capital of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly and the Western Regional capital, and since the discovery of oil in commercial quantities in the Jubilee Field in 2007, it has become the nerve centre of Ghana's petroleum industry, hosting the regional offices of Tullow, Kosmos (now merged into Tullow), ENI and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation's western operations. The Western Region, one of Ghana's original regions carved out at independence, was later split — the Western North Region was created in 2019 with its own Regional Coordinating Council seated at **Sefwi Wiawso**. So today, the WRCC at Sekondi-Takoradi administers the coastal and central-western districts (Ahanta West, Nzema East, Jomoro, Ellembelle, Tarkwa-Nsuaem, Prestea-Huni Valley, Wassa Amenfi, Shama, Effia-Kwesimintsim, Sekondi-Takoradi Metro and others), while the northern forest districts fall under the Western North RCC. If you need the current Western Regional Minister's name — that's a position that changes with political appointments, and I don't have a verified 2026 name in front of me. The last I can confirm from reporting was Hon. Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah (NPP) under the Akufo-Addo administration; with the NDC now in office under President Mahama since January 2025, a new appointee would have taken over. Check the WRCC's official channels or GhanaWeb for the sitting minister. *Tip:* If you're using GhanaMann's directory, the Western Regional Coordinating Council should appear under the Government Agencies category — you can add or update the listing with the current minister's details if it's out of date.
