The newly appointed Ambassador designate to Hungary, His Excellency Dr. Kwame Ampofo, has embarked on series of courtesy visits to the paramountcies of his home constituency, South Dayi of the Volta region, to formally announce his new diplomatic assignment.
Accompanied by South Dayi NDC Chairman Prince Alex Adoboe, the District Chief Executive, Courage Kwame Kokroko, family members, and well-wishers, Dr. Ampofo paid homage to the traditional authorities of Peki, Kpali, Zendo and tongor, receiving blessings and words of counsel for his upcoming role.
At the Peki Traditional Area, the Paramount Chief, Deigã Kwadzo Dei XII, expressed his delight at the appointment, praising the government for recognizing the people of South Dayi with both national and international responsibilities.
“We are excited to see one of our own rise to such a position of influence,” said Deigã Kwadzo Dei XII. “But remember, do not disgrace this land or betray the trust placed in you by the President.
Carry our name with dignity, and let your success bring honor to South Dayi.”
The chief also called for unity among the people, urging Ghanaians to support rather than envy individuals entrusted with leadership.
Dr. Ampofo’s next stop was the Kpali Traditional Area, where Torgbegã Atikpladza Agbi Yao offered his prayers and blessings.
“Uplift the image of this land and carry out your duties as if each day were your last,” the paramount chief advised.
At tongor, the reception was equally warm as the team met with the Tongor and Zendo traditional authorities. The Chiefs and Queen mothers welcomed their former legislator with open arms.
In his remarks, Dr. Ampofo emphasized the centrality of integrity and good name in leadership.
“I carry with me the hopes of South Dayi and Ghana,” he said. “I will strive to bring opportunities for development and build enduring legacies that will make our people proud.”
He assured the chiefs and people of his unwavering commitment to uphold their trust and serve as a worthy representative in Hungary.

He served as the Member of Parliament for South Dayi in the 3th and 4th Parliaments of the 4th republic of Ghana, where he became known for championing development projects and advocating for rural electrification initiatives.
