Afigya Sekyere East NPP executives apologize to Agonamanhene

The constituency executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Afigya Sekyere East have issued a formal apology to the Agonamanhene, Obirikomfo Anokye Boakye II, following a diplomatic breakdown between the Member of Parliament and the local traditional authority. The apology is centered on a clerical error identified in an invitation letter dispatched by MP Mavis Nkansah-Boadu. The leadership of the party in the constituency moved to address the issue after the Agona Traditional Council expressed its displeasure and subsequently imposed a ban on the MP.

The tension arose in connection with a tournament organized by the lawmaker, where the protocol surrounding the formal invitation of the traditional leadership was allegedly mishandled. According to the executives, the oversight in the letter was unintentional and did not reflect the MP’s stance toward the traditional council. By taking responsibility for the administrative lapse, the NPP executives are seeking to resolve the impasse and restore the cordial relationship that has historically existed between the party and the traditional stool.

This intervention is crucial for the political landscape in Afigya Sekyere East, as traditional councils play a pivotal role in local governance and social cohesion. The NPP executives expressed their profound respect for Obirikomfo Anokye Boakye II and the customs of the Agona area. The party hopes that this formal act of contrition will lead to the lifting of the ban on the MP, allowing for continued collaboration on development projects and social initiatives within the constituency.
