Nkoranza Chiefs Express Disappointment In Mahama For ‘Disrespecting’ Them; Invokes Curses On Any Indigene Who Votes For NDC

The Chiefs and Elders of the Nkoranza Traditional Council have voiced their disappointment with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, for failing to honor a scheduled meeting during the party’s campaign tour in the area.

According to the council, arrangements were made well in advance for the meeting, which was to take place as part of the NDC’s campaign activities. The Chiefs and Elders claim they waited from morning till evening to meet with the former President and his team, but they never showed up. This incident has left the traditional leaders feeling disrespected and slighted.

The Chiefs emphasized that, as custodians of the land and leaders of the community, they expect a certain level of respect and recognition from political leaders who seek the support of their people. The failure of the NDC to adhere to the agreed schedule was seen as a serious breach of protocol and an affront to the authority of the traditional leaders.

In a dramatic turn of events, the Nkoranza Traditional Council went further to invoke traditional curses on anyone within their jurisdiction who votes for the NDC in the upcoming elections. This move underscores the depth of their dissatisfaction and the potential repercussions for the NDC’s support base in the area.

The incident highlights the critical role traditional authorities play in Ghanaian politics, where respect for cultural norms and leadership is essential. Political parties are often mindful of these dynamics, knowing that the backing of local chiefs and elders can significantly influence electoral outcomes.

Meanwhile, the NDC is yet to respond to the concerns raised by the Nkoranza Traditional Council. As the election campaign intensifies, it remains to be seen how this situation will impact the party’s fortunes in the Nkoranza area and beyond.
