The Oguaa Traditional Council has announced that the ban on drumming and noise-making in the Cape Coast area, which was imposed as part of the preparations for the Fetu Afahye festival, will be lifted on Friday, August 12.<\/p>\n
The lifting\u00a0of the ban comes just two days before the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s scheduled campaign launch at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n
There had been reports that the governing party was mulling over possibly postponing the campaign launch due to the ban.<\/p>\n
The PPP had also expressed some reservations about why the NDC had been permitted to launch the campaign in the area in spite of the ban, accusing the Oguaa traditional leaders of discrimination.<\/p>\n
However, this development paves way for the NDC to go ahead with the event as planned.<\/p>\n
