Traditional Paramount Chief Bans MP Mavis Nkansah-Boadu From Hosting Events Across Seven Communities

According to recent reports, The Omanhene of the Agona Traditional Area, Obirikomfo Anokye Boakye II, has issued an immediate directive banning Mavis Nkansah-Boadu, Member of Parliament for Sekyere South, from organizing social events across seven communities within his jurisdiction.

The ban directly targets a sports tournament scheduled for October 23, 2026, and applies to Agona, Dipoa, Wiamoase, Bedomase, Afamanaso, Akrofonso, and Ampanyinamoa.

In a formal letter addressed to the lawmaker, the Paramount Chief cited persistent disrespect and a failure to properly recognize his traditional authority. Specifically, Obirikomfo Anokye Boakye II expressed strong displeasure over a recent event invitation under the MP’s patronage that addressed him as “Chief of the Agona Traditional Council” rather than acknowledging his official title as Omanhene.

The traditional ruler emphasized that his status was formally established through recognized traditional rites, including his swearing-in before the Agona Amantuonson on June 4, 2026, and his subsequent presentation before the Asanteman Council at the Manhyia Palace on June 29, 2026. He noted that despite high-profile installations attended by local government officials, security chiefs, and civic leaders, the MP has repeatedly failed to accord him the customary protocol due to his stool when visiting the area.

Consequently, the Omanhene directed that the lawmaker cease all public functions in the affected towns with immediate effect, cautioning against any attempt to breach the order.

As of press time, MP Nkansah-Boadu has not publicly responded to the directive, leaving the status of the October 23 tournament and future political engagements in the constituency uncertain.
