The Ghana Voice says the role played by some chiefs in the Volta region to make a trip to Cape Coast in the Central Region to solicit votes for Professor Atta Mills, that turned out to be a nightmare had sparked off internal wranglings.

A section of the chiefs have accused Togbe Dagadu, the President of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs of having betrayed them as a result of an interview he granted the 'Ghanaian Chronicle' at Ho about their trip, which the paper later published.

Reacting to the publication, the Vice President of the Volta regional House of Chiefs. Togbe Gambazu V said he is not the least surprised about the behaviour of Togbe Dagadu VII to smear his name and to dent his reputation, as he mentioned his name as leader of the so-called delegation to Cape Coast.

"I am not least surprised about the behaviour of Togbe Dagadu VII because come May 2001, there will be an election at the House of Chiefs where I will take over from him. Togbe Dagadu is therefore doing all he can to smear my name and dent my hard won reputation," he emphasized. He denied ever taken part in the supposed trips to Cape Coast.

He said although the Vice President and the flagbearer of the NDC, Professor Atta Mills was at Ho during the campaign to solicit the assistance of their subjects to vote for the NDC there was no where that he had any discussion that the chiefs should be mobilised to make any trip to Cape Coast for such a purpose.

He said if such a trip came off as is being peddled then such members did that on their own volition.
