Speaking to Citi News, Brogya Genfi reaffirmed the NDC’s stance that chiefs should refrain from active political engagement.“Once they have thrown in the challenge, the national chairman will respond to it. So be rest assured that the national chairman will respond to it.

“This matter is not going to die because it is important that our chiefs stay neutral and do not participate in active partisan politics as stipulated in the 1992 constitution and you know that the Supreme Court has had the opportunity to interpret what active partisan politics mean.

“And that means that chiefs, no matter the status, whether paramount chiefs or divisional chiefs, must not participate in active politics, even endorsing candidates. And so this is a matter that I am very sure will not die.”
