Ho- Dome queen alleges vote buying influenced Togbe Afede’s decision to skip second House of Chiefs term

The Queen Mother of Ho-Dome in the Asogli Traditional Area, Mama Atrato II, has alleged that vote buying prevented Togbe Afede XIV from seeking a second term as President of the National House of Chiefs."And we pray that when the vote-buying system is abolished, we will get the rightful people to be put in certain places and to lobby for the region to be developed," she said.

The Queen Mother expressed hope that ending vote buying would pave the way for credible leaders who would effectively lobby for the development of their respective regions.
