After tempers were calmed down, President Akufo-Addo explained that the New Patriotic Party has not promised and failed the people in Kpone because, the people of Kpone have never voted for the NPP.

As part of the regional tour of former President John Dramani Mahama, he also visited the town to make his intentions known to them.

He said that if he wins the 2020 elections, he would fulfil all campaign promises he has made to the people of Ghana.

In reaction, Nii Tetteh Otu II underscored the need for Mahama to refrain from making extravagant promises, "and go by his promises".

The chief indicated that some political leaders talked the electorate into voting for them prior to the 2016 elections but after they were given the mandate, failed to live by those promises.
