Accra (Greater Accra) 27 April ?99
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Monday congratulated the new Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu the second for his successful enstoolment.
A statement issued in Accra by the press secretary, Mr Vincent Assiseh said it is with great joy and pride that the nomination, acceptance, confinement and enstoolment of Barima Kweku Dua was characterised by peace, harmony and esprit de corps.
This, the statement said, is ample evidence of the wealth of "our traditional method of selection to high office, often devoid of rancour, strife, bitterness, spite, violence and dissent."
"Western democracy certainly has a lot to learn from our time honoured customs and traditions."
The party said it prays that the new Asantehene would live long, and the maturity and warm-heartedness that set his predecessors out as men of distinction will characterise his reign.
