The Nkoranza Traditional Council has dismissed reports that it invoked curses on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, over alleged disrespect to the traditional authorities.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, September 4, the council described the claims as false and contrary to its values and practices, urging the public to disregard the misinformation.

Earlier reports suggested that the chief of Doromakese in Nkoranza North, Bono East region, had invoked curses on Mahama and the NDC’s parliamentary candidate, Joseph Mensah, after they allegedly disrespected the traditional authorities by failing to pay a promised courtesy call to the council.

The reports further claimed that the council had banned NDC campaign activities in Doromakese and called upon the gods to deal with anyone who would vote for Mahama and Mensah.

However, the Nkoranza Traditional Council has clarified that no such actions were taken, emphasizing the importance of respectful and accurate reporting.

The council encouraged the public and media to verify facts and refrain from spreading false information.
