Eleven persons have picked up nomination forms to represent the Brong Ahafo region on the Council of State.<\/p>\n

These include the incumbent President of the Brong Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs, Yaw Kagbrese V, the immediate past President, Osahene kwaku Atterkyi among others.<\/p>\n

The electoral commission says it has so far received nominations from all ten regions of the country and is preparing to conduct the elections this Thursday, February 9th,<\/sup> 2017 at selected places nationwide.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Mawerehene for the Asantehene, Baffour Hyeaman Brantuo IV who has also submitted his forms to contest for the Ashanti Regional slot is confident of winning after receiving the backing of the Asantehene, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II.<\/p>\n

“The EC requested that all ten regions select a representative each to help in the affairs of government. That is why I have decided to put in an application. You all remember that I have closely with this kingdom since the time of Opoku Ware. I have worked with Otumfuor and represented him in all important discussions both internationally and locally. Otumfuor himself has endorsed me for the Council of State membership so that is a good omen. I am hoping that the Assembly will accept me to help bring development to this country.”<\/p>\n
