NDC executives fined GHS10,000 for invoking curses on EC, NPP

The executives of the opposition National Democratic Congress in the Assin Central constituency of the Central Region have incurred the wrath of the traditional authorities of the Efutuakwa Traditional Council for invoking curses on the Electoral Commission and the New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for the area, Godfred Nti Anewu, dailyguidenetwork.com reports. The NDC in the constituency accused the NPP of allegedly transporting people from Kasoa to transfer their votes to the Assin Central Constituency. In response, the NDC invoked curses on the party, an act prohibited in the area. Upon learning of the incident, the traditional authorities in Assin Fosu summoned the NDC executives to the palace and fined them GHS10,000, 10 sheep, and six boxes of schnapps for committing such an abomination. The NDC delegation, led by Constituency Chairman, Baba Galba, and Women's Organizer Agartha Yawson, was directed to present the items by the close of Friday, June 14, 2024, for the necessary rituals to be p erformed to revoke the curse. Additionally, the NDC executives have been instructed to go to the Antoa and Assin Nyankomasi communities to perform the necessary rituals to reverse the curses, as they had invoked the names of Antoa and the stool of Assin Nyankomasi (Aboabo) during the act. The queen mother of Assin Fosu, Nana Afranse IV, and Okumaneng Bafour Asare Kyeahene II, representing the Efutuakwa Traditional Council, stated that the directive aims to serve as a deterrent to others.
