The Traditional Council of Agona Nyakrom in the Central Region has distanced itself from the decision of Agona West MP Cynthia Morrison to contest as an Independent candidate in the December 7 election.
The chiefs have stated that it is not true they are behind her candidacy or that they approve of it.
Speaking on behalf of the Traditional Council at a meeting, the Omankrado of Agona Nyakrom, Nana Ekuful IV, stated that the MP’s aide, Kofi Osei, was spreading falsehoods about their involvement.
Nana Ekuful IV has therefore warned Mr. Osei and Madam Morrison not to mention the chiefs in the course of their campaign activities and to pursue their political agenda independently.
“The reports are that the Agona chiefs are asking Cynthia Morrison to go independent, but we have never met to take any such decision. We haven’t sent anyone to go independent,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Regent of Agona Swedru, Nana Kweku Esieni V, also cautioned politicians to stop dragging the chiefs into their activities.
He called on all politicians in Agona West to embark on clean campaigns to promote peace.
