Be Like Asantehene And Stop Endorsing Politicians – Ben Ephson Tells Chiefs

Pollster, Ben Ephson has urged all chiefs in the country to use the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu’s style of endorsing politicians as benchmark in their dealings with politicians.

Speaking on the Morning Starr, Ben Ephson noted that it is risky for a chief to endorse a political party because Ghana’s Executive style of governance will stall development in an area when a political party you didn’t endorse wins power.

He said, “In my view, the Asantehene’s message to both candidates should be the benchmark for all chiefs. Because there’s no chiefdom that the two parties do not get votes.”

“This year’s election is a comparison of records and I think the Otumfuo was pointing out to Mahama ‘let people know what you have done and that he [Mahama] hasn’t marketed himself well so he should do that.”
