Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has called for a responsible and issue-based electioneering and not deliberate peddling of falsehood and phantom promises.

He said it is only political parties which do not have good and convincing campaign messages that resort to mudslinging and vile criticism.

Mr. Amissah-Arthur said this when he joined the chiefs and people of Wassa Amenfi Traditional Area in the Western Region for their Adimekesie celebration at Wassa Akropong. He said President John Dramani deserves commendations and not name calling such as “incompetent”.

The Adimekesie is celebrated annually by the chiefs and people of Wassa Amenfi in honour of their departed ancestors and chart a path for development for the ensuing year. Vice President Amissah-Arthur used the festival to climax his four-day campaign tour of the Western Region.

Also at the festival to pay homage to the chiefs was the flagbearer of the CPP, Ivor Kobina Greenstreet. The Omanhene of Wassa Amenfi Traditional Area, Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim, was full of praise for the unprecedented development that has taken place in his area in the last for years.

He mentioned the completion of 42 CHPS compounds, more than 80 communities which have been provided with electricity, schools and completed and ongoing road projects. Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim therefore called for a special relationship between the traditional authority and government to notch higher the rapid development of the area.
