Since some traditional rulers have openly declared their choice of political party in the upcoming December elections, the private lawyer, Dr. Maurice Ampaw, has asked the political parties not to get carried away by it, as these leaders cannot persuade his subjects to follow his example. .

He stated that political parties only have the votes of the bosses and not of the entire population, since Ghanaians have already mentalized about who to vote on December 7.

“The Ghanaians are very awake; They know what they want. The boss has one vote, in fact, the bosses don’t feed them. The bosses do not have direct control over their activities according to the laws of the country, the individual has the right to vote, nobody decides and tells them how to vote, so I don’t think that the bosses who support the political parties influence them ”, said Mr. Ampaw said.

He added that “it will even annoy citizens and subjects because they make their bosses go to receive money and it has been influenced by the political party they are supporting, therefore, how does it benefit them directly? It will even create the situation in which subjects will prefer to vote against the political parties that these bosses even support ”.

So far, 5 traditional rulers have declared their support for some standard bearers by backing their parties ahead of the 2020 general elections.

Some chiefs in the Ahafo region decided to bypass their constitutional role and endorse President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo earlier this month.

The Supreme Chief of Duayaw Nkwanta Nana Boakye Tromo III “I want you to know that we are solidly behind you. We are told that bosses must not get involved in partisan politics. However, there comes a time when you have to help the person who helps you in time of need. We are solidly behind you, and today we declare ‘four more for Nana’, ‘four more to do more.’

Krontihene from Techimantia, Nana Ampong Koromantan, Omanhene from Kenyasi No.1, Nana Kofi Abiri, Bechemanhene, Nana Fosu Gyeabuor II have all been prompted in this supporting act.

Asankragwa chiefs in the western region and the supreme queen mother of the traditional Wassa Fiase council, Nana Abena Kunadwoa, also professed their love for the opposition NDC.

The queen mother of Kansaworodo, Nana Akua Mansa II in the western region and head of Elmina Nana Kodwo Conduah VI have announced their support for the nuclear power plant government.
