The chiefs said there was no correspondence from the party informing them John Mahama would not come.

The angry elders warned their subjects not to vote for the NDC in the upcoming December 7 elections for their disrespect.
In the video, they also invoked curses on any person who votes for the party.
NDC fined by Efutuakwa Traditional Council
National Democratic Congress executives in Assin Central have been fined by traditional authorities of the Efutuakwa Traditional Council for cursing the Electoral Commission and the New Patriotic Party candidate for the area.
The NDC had accused the NPP of allegedly transporting people from Kasoa to transfer their votes to the Assin Central Constituency.
They thus cursed the party and its parliamentary candidate in violation of the area's customs.
Daily Guide reported that traditional authorities in Assin Fosu invited the NDC and fined them GH¢10,000, ten sheep, and six boxes of schnapps.
They were directed to present the items by the close of Friday, June 14, 2024, for rituals to reverse the curse.
The NDC has also been instructed to go to the Antoa and Assin Nyankomasi communities to perform the necessary rituals to reverse the curses because the curses were invoked using the names "Antoa" and the stool of Assin Nyankomasi.
