President of the National House of Chiefs, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, has refuted claims made by Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing him of engaging in partisan politics.

Speaking during a campaign visit to Odumase in the Asante Akim Central Constituency, Asiedu Nketiah alleged that Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II had compromised his neutral stance by supposedly supporting the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Asiedu Nketiah further suggested that this involvement could undermine Nana Gyebi’s ability to mediate in the ongoing parliamentary deadlock, potentially damaging the credibility of the National House of Chiefs and affecting Ghana’s democratic integrity.

In response, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II dismissed the accusations, stating that if Nketiah has any proof of political bias on his part, he is free to pursue legal action.

“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,” Ogyeahoho Gyebi II.
