The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has declared that the nomination of his grandson, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the Vice-Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) (NPP) does not imply that Manhyia Palace supports that party.

According to him, the nomination does not also mean he[Otumfuo] will vote for the NPP on December 7.

He made these remarks when the National Democratic Congress(NDC) Vice Presidential candidate, Prof Jane Naana Opoku paid a courtesy call on him on Friday.

“NPP has chosen my grandson, NAPO as the running mate; indeed he is my grandson but that does not mean this palace has voted for NPP or NDC.  This palace is for everyone and is equally opened to the NPP just as the NDC,” he said.Prof. Opoku-Agyemang expressed gratitude to the Asantehene for the warm reception.
