Today, the Ankobeahene of the Begoro Stool, Bafour Owiredu Agyarko Minta II, is slated to appear before the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council.
He has been summoned regarding allegations of endorsing the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, during Mahama’s tour of the Eastern Region.
Petitioners are seeking destoolment, a declaration nullifying the respondent’s actions, a public recantation, and an apology to the people of Begoro. They also call for customary sanctions if he’s found liable.
While some suspect a chieftaincy dispute, the NDC in the region urges fair hearings by the Council.
