Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, President of the National House of Chiefs, has firmly denied allegations from Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), that he is engaged in partisan politics.

Asiedu Nketia made these accusations during a campaign event in Odumase, within the Asante Akim Central Constituency, claiming that Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II was compromising his neutrality by allegedly supporting the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Asiedu Nketia argued that the chief’s perceived political leanings could undermine his role as a neutral mediator in Ghana’s political landscape, particularly in the current parliamentary impasse.

He warned that such actions could harm the credibility of the House of Chiefs and have wider implications for Ghana’s democratic process, where neutrality in traditional leadership is highly valued.

In response to these claims, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II maintained that he remains politically impartial and emphasised his commitment to the integrity of his role.

He invited Asiedu Nketiah to take legal action if he believes there is substantial evidence of any political bias or misconduct on his part.

Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II further assured the public that he is focused on upholding the traditions and responsibilities of his position, dismissing the allegations as unfounded.

He reiterated that his actions as the President of the National House of Chiefs remain guided by his duty to serve all Ghanaians without political preference.

“It’s never true. If it is true, he can go to court. He can go and report. The Supreme Court has come up with guidelines for Nananom, so if the president of the National House of Chiefs is seen wearing a particular party’s paraphernalia or campaigning for a particular party, he can take me to the police or to court."

“Ask him where he saw me engaging in all those activities, where he saw me wearing the active paraphernalia. Every average Ghanaian now holds a cell phone, so when you see those things, click, you take the picture and show it to the whole world,” he said.
