Mrs. Alma Pokua Adade-Prempeh, the wife of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Vice Presidential Candidate, has reassured traditional authorities of the NPP’s commitment to a strengthened partnership under a Dr. Bawumia-led government.

During her recent visit to Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfro, Mrs. Adade-Prempeh, accompanied by the constituency’s Member of Parliament (MP), Sylvester Tetteh, and other NPP stalwarts, engaged with seven divisional chiefs, queen mothers, and chief priests (Wolomei), emphasizing the party’s vision for governance built on collaboration and community-led development.

Mrs. Adade-Prempeh expressed her deep respect for traditional rulers as custodians of Ghanaian heritage and highlighted their unique role as unifying figures within communities.

“Our traditional rulers are important pillars in our society and must be supported in every possible way to impact positively on the lives of our people,” she affirmed.

This partnership, she noted, is essential to the NPP’s governance approach under Dr. Bawumia, which seeks to integrate traditional leadership in decisions impacting local communities.

She assured the traditional rulers that Dr. Bawumia’s administration would continue to enhance the role of chiefs and other traditional leaders.

“Efficient and effective governance requires that we honor and support those at the heart of our communities,” she added, pledging that under a Bawumia presidency, traditional authorities would have a clear role in helping to steer local development and build resilient communities.

Mrs. Adade-Prempeh and her delegation also met with thousands of fisherfolk in the constituency, presenting the NPP’s commitments to the fishing industry and related entrepreneurial support initiatives.

With the aim to support the fishing community, she discussed specific provisions within the NPP manifesto geared toward sustainable fishing practices, resource allocation, and access to financial and technical resources.

She emphasized the NPP’s commitment to not only preserving the fishing industry but ensuring that it thrives as a sustainable and profitable sector, with benefits that flow back into the local economy.

She used the opportunity to distribute NPP-branded items to the fisherfolk, expressing her appreciation for their hard work and resilience, while underscoring the party’s dedication to community-driven development.

“We know that for Ghana to prosper, every community must be empowered to flourish,” she told the gathering, acknowledging the critical role fisherfolk play in the national economy.
