Confusion mars Western Regional House of Chiefs’ elections
There was confusion at the Western Regional House
of Chiefs on Thursday, September 22 after Nsein
Paramount Chief filed a motion for adjournment of
elections.

Awulae Agyefi Kwame filed the motion for
adjournment, complaining that two members of the
House had cases pending at the lower and higher
courts and them taking part in elections could
have dire consequences for the House.

The chiefs had gathered to elect a president, vice
president and representatives to the National
House of Chiefs, Onua FM’s correspondent said.


But Awulae Kwame’s motion did not go down well
with some of the chiefs notably Paramount Chief
for Lower Dixcove Nana Kwesi Agyemang and Awulae
Atti Brukusu, who openly expressed dissent.

The ensuing exchanges forced the Electoral
Commission officers to leave with their biometric
equipment.

The paramount chief of Nsein Traditional Area put
all the blame at the doorstep of the Electoral
Commission, whom he accused of superintending
illegitimate elections four years ago.
