The Chairman for Manhyia South, Richard Adjei Mensah Ofori Atta, has made a statement revealing that most chiefs in the Ashanti Kingdom are known sympathizers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He explained that due to this affiliation, the chiefs in Ashanti will never bring up issues that may harm the NPP.
Richard Adjei Mensah Ofori Atta emphasized that the chiefs’ support for the NPP is strong, and they would never do anything to make the political party unpopular, even if they are members of the party.
During a radio interview, he stated, “Manhyia, some of the chiefs are our uncles. Kwame, the party’s strength lies in the Ashanti region, and a number of them are members of the NPP, but because they are chiefs, they cannot reveal their positions. Kwame, do you think they will bring up issues that could make the party unpopular? No.”
Meanwhile, the Kumasi Traditional Council cleared Chairman Wontumi on Monday, January 29, 2024, after he was said to have used some derogatory words against Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
