The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) running mate, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, has called on traditional leaders across Ghana to actively participate in politics.

He stressed the pivotal role chiefs play in influencing the country’s direction and encouraged them to express their concerns.

During a meeting with the Nungua Traditional Council in Accra, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, urged voters in the area to support the NPP and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the December elections.

“My campaign is different, I visit every royal house to tell them one thing. I tell them to help us, pray for us, guide us, counsel us, and give the direction to us. So, the Ghana that we’re developing is a Ghana that will be developed in freedom.

“I implore every traditional leader, the elders that this game called politics, have you realised that the politicians have turned round to tell you not to do politics, if we didn’t do politics how did we come by independence? I’m not saying wear NPP colours or NDC colours.

“I’m saying that whether it is NPP or NDC, it’s your right to tell us what is right. It is not our right to tell you not to be part of us, it is your right, to crave it. The people of Nungua should crave Nungua, it’s theirs. Everything God put on Nungua was for the development of Nungua.”
