At the end of the elections, it was realized that, for the first time in the history of NASPA Central Regional elections, the new Regional executives elected into office are executives from different districts thus the Agona East, Agona West, Gomoa East, Assin North and Assin South and Ajumako Districts. 

This became possible as a result of a strong alliance formed by seven 7 districts and headed by Mr Nicholas Essel, Agona East NASPA President with the aim to end the chain of Cape Coast Metro executives who had  doubled up as Regional executives for decades. Due to this, developmental projects are only concentrated in the Metropolis neglecting the other 17 Municipal and District Assemblies.
