Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has called on supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ablekuma North to back their fellow party members in confrontations with members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking at a gathering of party supporters during a visit by the NPP caucus leadership to Ablekuma North’s parliamentary candidate, Akua Afriyie, Annoh-Dompreh urged unity and solidarity among party faithful.
“If indeed you are a member of the NPP and you see your fellow party member in a fight with an NDC member, join your party member to defend them,” he stated.
The Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP accused the NDC of deliberately obstructing the Electoral Commission (EC) from completing the collation process in the constituency and warned that the NPP would not accept further delays.
“We are giving the EC one week—seven days. The EC must come and declare our candidate as the winner of the Ablekuma North election,” he insisted.
He further warned that continued delays in announcing Akua Afriyie as the MP-elect would lead to disruptions in Parliament.
“If the NDC, led by Mahama Ayariga, does not act reasonably and continues to prevent the EC from completing the collation, they will never know peace in Parliament,” he cautioned.
Annoh-Dompreh also called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare, to intervene against what he described as the NDC’s disruptive tactics.
“If the IGP also decides to look on unconcerned and allow these people to continue like this, we will continue to demonstrate,” he added.
