Act more fatherly – Asiedu Nketia to president of National House of Chiefs

Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the General Secretary of National Democratic Congress (NDC) requested that Ogyeahohoo Yaw Gyebi, the president of the National House of Chiefs should embrace honesty and fairness in his pronouncements on Ghana’s 2020 presidential election disputes.

The National Democratic Congress led by his ex-President John Dramani Mahama have rejected the  2020 election result released by the Electoral commissioner Jean Mensah.

The former president in a press conference said the election was a flawed one and the figures made public on it by the EC chair were also fictitious.
