Kumasi City Market Traders Union are prohibited from holding elections for a second time by Asantehemaa’s court.

The Asantehemaa’s Court at Manhyia Palace has once again struck down a move by some traders at the Kejetia new market to form a new association.

Some traders at the facility in October 2022 incur the wrath of the Asantehemaa following their decision to hold elections at the facility without the notice of Manhyia Palace.

The trading group, “Kumasi City Market Traders Union”, which was allegedly formed by one Nana Franko to oppose the current leadership appointed by the Asantehemaa was ordered to halt any elections in the facility with immediate effect.

The Asantehemaa’s Court presided over by the Queen of Asante Kingdom, Her Majesty Nana Yaa Konadu then directed the traders to meet the existing leadership and solve any differences between them.

The traders were hauled over to the Manhyia Palace for the second time after they reportedly ignored the Queen’s directive and began issuing Identity cards to members.

The court once again has ruled that no trader can form any association to oppose the one set up by the Queen.

The Deputy Chairman for Central Market Traders Nana Wiafe after the ruling thanked the Queen for the wise counsel.
