The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, says the Greater Accra Region will be a pivotal factor in determining the outcome of the 2024 elections in Ghana.
“This year’s election, Accra will decide, Accra will decide, and I want to say that it is the most important election in the whole of the 4th Republic, but we need to understand that we are Ghanaians, and we need to understand that we must restrain ourselves from being used to hurt each other,” he said.
According to him, the 2024 election in December will be the most important election in the history of the 4th Republic.
The Ga Mantse also called for peaceful and respectful campaigning, stressing the importance of unity and cooperation among all political parties.
He encouraged citizens to participate actively in the electoral process to ensure that their voices are heard and their votes count.
The king made this bold statement when the leader of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, paid a courtesy call on him to seek his permission and blessing ahead of his tour of the Greater Accra region.
