The running mate to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, called on the Omanhene of Wassa Amenfi traditional area and President of the Western Regional House of Chiefs, Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim II on Wednesday July 10.
Dr Prempeh also known as Napo was accompanied by the Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah, the National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Henry Nana Boakye and some NPP parliamentary candidates in the Wassa area.
During his courtesy call, he urged the Omanhene of Wassa Amenfi to forgive Ernest Frimpong Amenfi East Parliamentary Candidate for whatever ill actions he has committed against him.
On his part, Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim II, “Since our Vice President has asked that I forgive him, I have forgiven him.”
It is unclear the disagreement that ensued between the Omanhene of Wassa Amenfi the NPP parlimentary candidate.
Also, the visit formed part of efforts to consolidate the New Partnership quest between traditional rulers and politicians as clearly articulated by our Presidential Candidate H.E. Dr. Bawumia.
On his Facebook page, he wrote, “I am encouraged by the words of wisdom of Tetrete as we look forward to engaging all stakeholders in this campaign. I am grateful to our party executives in the Western region and the Wassa area constituencies for their warm reception,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh earlier said that the NPP was targeting 85 percent votes in the Ashanti Region in this year’s elections.
