Vote-buying Responsible For Togbe Afede’s Removal As President Of National House Of Chiefs – Franklin Cudjoe Alleges

It is emerging that there was a grand scheme in place to oust the Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State and President of Asogli Traditional Area in the Volta Region, Togbe Afede XIV, who contested to retain the National House of Chiefs presidency, but lost to the Paramount Chief of Sefwi Anhwiaso Traditional Area, Ogyeahohoo Yaw Gyebi II.

President of policy think tank IMANI-Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, alleged money and politics played a role in the election.

Mr Cudjoe allegedly remarked on his social media handle “Togbe Afede XIV loses his re-election as President of the National House of chiefs. No surprise. Money and politics played a role in this “.

Ogyeahohoo Gyebi II, polled 47 out of the 72 total valid votes cast, while Togbe Afede XIV, had 25 in the keenly contested election. But it is emerging that Togbe Afede XIV, an astute businessman and banker, unseated was anything, but fair, just and transparent.
