The Paramount chief of Bator has urged former President John Mahama to modify some provisions of the constitution if he wins power.<\/p>\n

Togbe Kpatamiah Dzekle VII stated that many Ghanaians support constitutional reforms, adding that Mr. Mahama should heed it for the sake of the country\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n

The chief was addressing the audience during the NDC flagbearer\u2019s tour of the Volta Region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a number of areas in the constitution that need to be looked at again to address pertinent issues confronting this country. I will not go into details. Maybe at an open forum, some members would dash on those areas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The traditional leader, who also serves as the Vice President of the National House of Chiefs said his traditional area was badly affected by the Akosombo Dam spillage last year.<\/p>\n

The chiefs also applauded former President John Mahama and his brother Ibrahim Mahama for their assistance in relieving the people during the Akosombo Dam disaster.<\/p>\n
