President of the Volta Regional house of chiefs, Togbe Afede XIV has embraced the free Senior High education campaign by the presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.

The NPP presidential candidate told the chiefs of the region that he wants to be the bridge between his party and the people of the Volta region. He lamented the NPP’s poor electoral performance in the region, in the past saying he is counting on the chiefs to embrace his hand of friendship to change the trend.
