The Sunyani Traditional Council has denied reports that it is scheming to<\/span>\u00a0stop the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from holding its extraordinary delegates\u2019 conference in the Brong Ahafo regional on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Krontihene of the Council, Nana Bofotia Boamponsem II\u00a0<\/span>told Citi News,<\/strong> the Chiefs officially have no knowledge of the programme and cannot hold a meeting to prevent it.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”8TpOFYKc9Y7gB0gHLoIFiSnSre6rcV83″]\u201cIf they know Nananom [Chiefs] are here and the land belongs to somebody, and they have the respect and recognition for the owners of the land, it is a must for them to\u00a0go there. And so if they are coming to do something and they haven\u2019t communicated anything to us yet, it shows that we officially don\u2019t know anything about the programme they are coming to do\u201d, he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There were earlier reports that\u00a0the Chiefs were\u00a0in a crunch meeting on Friday morning to stop the delegates\u2019 conference scheduled to take place at the\u00a0Sunyani Coronation Park.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the reports, the chiefs\u2019 decision was hinged on the fact that regional executives\u00a0of the NPP\u00a0failed to apologize for some comments they made against the Paramount Chief of the area\u00a0<\/span>Nana Bosoma Asor deemed derogatory.<\/p>\n

However, <\/span>Nana Bofotia Boamponsem II, \u00a0told Citi News<\/strong> there are no such attempts to\u00a0frustrate the party’s event.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not the official hosts of the programme, but we are custodians of the land and so if they are surely doing something in Sunyani, they should have informed us\u201d he argued.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials in Sunyani have told Citi News<\/strong> they will officially inform the traditional authorities about their activities in the region.<\/p>\n
