The President of the National House of Chiefs, Odeneho Gyapong Ababio II, has refuted a publication that he directed the people of Sefwi-Bekwai to vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the impending December elections.
He said our constitution forbids chiefs to involve themselves in partisan politics and so there is no way he would stand on a platform and tell Ghanaians to vote for a particular party.
Speaking in an interview with ASEMPA NEWS on the publication which said he mounted the platform and appealed to his subjects to vote for the NPP during a rally at Bekwai in the Western Region, Odeneho Ababio said what he said was that when the NPP gets the nod, it should remember the people of Bekwai, an appeal he said, he would make to every political party that calls on him.
