The Northern Forum for Peace and Development (NOFPED) has stated that the newly elected Upper East House Chiefs, Pe Ditundini Adiali Ayagitam III.
In a statement, the group called on the Upper East Regional Security Council to intervene in any situation that may cause division in the region.
“We are reliably informed that per the Chieftaincy Act, there is nothing like rotation of presidency at the House of Chiefs. What is prescribed in the Chieftaincy Act is an election. It is on record that in 2001 some members of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs agreed on the rotational system and as a matter of fact that the presidency was rotated among the groupings in the House.
“After each of the groupings had taken its turn twice, the rotational system was reviewed in 2022, it subsequently came to an end, and the House returned to the electoral system enshrined in the Chieftaincy Act”, NOFPED narrated.
