Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has firmly stated that he supports both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), emphasizing that his primary concern is the nation’s development.
He stressed that what Ghana needs most is progress and urged both parties to focus on clean campaigns.
The Asantehene called on political leaders to promote policies that would help the country achieve its developmental goals.
He said this when the NDC introduced its Vice-Presidential candidate, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, to him in Kumasi on Friday.
Asantehene also questioned why the NDC failed to introduce Prof Opoku-Agyemang to him, though the party nominated her earlier before the New Patriotic Party (NPP) selected Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh.
“What we all want as Ghanaians is to have a leader who has the people of Ghana at heart. The people following you believe you will support John Dramani Mahama in becoming president again.”
“We are asking that you embark on a clean campaign and come out with good policies that will guide this country. The NPP has already selected Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and it’s true, that he is a son of Asanteman, but I want to say on authority that you are all my children, and I support all of you. What we want is development,” Otumfuo stated.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, on her part, urged the traditional ruler to bless her ahead of the elections.
