A group of traditional priestesses in Tema protested today. They wore red cloth to express their opposition to Ebi Bright's appointment as Mayor.
The priestesses are concerned about Ebi Bright’s non-indigenous background. They believe this makes her unfit to lead the municipality.
They argue that the mayor should be a native of Tema. A local leader would better understand the community's cultural heritage and needs.
The demonstration gained significant attention online. Blogger SikaOfficial first reported it on social media today.
Images and videos show the priestesses chanting and marching through the streets. The government has not yet responded to the protest.
This demonstration highlights tensions over the appointment. It raises questions about local representation in governance.
