Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to take all necessary measures to ensure a peaceful electoral process on December 7, 2024.
The Asantehene made this appeal when the President paid a courtesy visit to the Manhyia Palace to express his gratitude to him and the indigenes for their unwavering support during his tenure.
In a separate engagement with the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs, President Akufo-Addo cautioned that voting for former President John Mahama in the upcoming elections could lead to the neglect of the Ashanti Region and the abandonment of key developmental projects.
As part of his three-day tour of the Ashanti Region, President Akufo-Addo visited the Manhyia Palace, where the Asantehene urged him to uphold a peaceful electoral process for the December 7 elections.
“He has promised to ensure a peaceful election and I believe he will do exactly that. I also appeal to political parties and Ghanaians to prioritize Ghana’s peace as we go to the polls on December 7”, stated Otumfour.
During a meeting with the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs, the traditional leaders commended President Akufo-Addo for spearheading major developmental projects in the Ashanti Region. They expressed gratitude for both completed and ongoing projects and encouraged the chiefs to consider these achievements when casting their votes.
“From 2017 to date, my government has appointed about 30 ministers and deputy ministers from the Ashanti region, a sharp contrast to the NDC’s 13 ministers during Mahama’s presidency and this will not change if he is voted into power again.
“I appeal to you to vote for Dr Bawumia if you want continued development in the region”
President Akufo-Addo emphasized the importance of the Ashanti Region to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and urged the chiefs to support the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the same way they supported him over the past eight years.
