Traditional authorities of Efutuakwa Council in the Central Region have summoned Assin Central National Democratic Congress (NDC) executives who invoked curses on the Electoral Commission (EC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary candidate, Godfred Nti Anewu.

The NDC in the constituency had accused the NPP of allegedly transporting people from Kasoa to transfer their votes to the Assin Central Constituency.

In the Efutuakwa Traditional Area (Assin Fosu), it is prohibited to invoke a curse, no matter one’s justification.

The Council on Friday, June 14, fined the NDC members GH¢10,000, 10 sheep and six boxes of schnapps.

The Constituency NDC Chairman, Baba Galba and the Women’s Organiser, Agartha Yawson led a delegation, and have been directed to present the items by the close of today, Friday, June 14, 2024, for the necessary rituals to be performed to revoke the curse.

Additionally, they are to go to the Antoa and Assin Nyankomasi communities to perform the necessary rituals to reverse the curse.

This is because they mentioned the name “Antoa” and the stool of Assin Nyankomasi (Aboabo) when the curse was invoked.

The Assin Fosu queen mother, Nana Afranse IV and Okumaneng Bafour Asare Kyeahene II who represented the Efutuakwa Traditional Council said, the directive is to serve as a deterrent to others.

Nana Bafour Asare urged politicians to unite for development instead of creating enmity among themselves.
