General News of Saturday, 16 November 2019Source: citinewsroom.comHouse of Chiefs divided over statement on rejection of referendumFile PhotoThere is seeming division within the National House of Chiefs over the national referendum on whether or not to allow political parties to sponsor candidates for local level elections. According to the statement, the House of Chiefs is concerned about the adverse effects of partisan politics on local level development if this referendum goes through. We strongly recommend its rejection by the citizens”, the House said in the statement. But, Chairman of the Governance Committee of the National House of Chiefs, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II of Sefwi Anhwiaso in the Western Region says the Statement does not represent the collective view of the House of Chiefs. We therefore decided to campaign for a NO vote at the referendum and to urge all Ghanaians to vote NO at the referendum.
