Asantehene
tasks registered voters to vote on the 28th
Accra, Dec. 23, Ghanadot/GNA – Asantehene
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has urged traditional rulers in
Asanteman to encourage all registered voters to cast their
ballots during the December 28 Presidential Election Runoff.
He said it was the duty of traditional rulers to impress
upon their people to vote to elect a president of their
choice.
A statement the Media Relation Manager of Manhyia, George
Boasiako Osei Antiw signed on Tuesday, said Otumfuo Osei
Tutu was speaking at the last meeting of the year of the
Asanteman Council held at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.
He urged paramount chiefs to request their elders through
traditional means, such as beating of gong-gong, to ask
people to vote, saying Ghanaians wanted development and this
was the time to vote for a candidate, who was development
oriented.
The Asantehene advised registered voters not to cause
confusion at the polling stations to disrupt the voting
process to give Asanteman a bad name.
He praised voters for their comportment during the December
7 elections and expressed the hope that they would exhibit
similar attitudes during Sunday’s runoff.
