“No one in this constituency supports the idea that Annor-Dompreh leads us. We have observed a lot of his shameful conduct in Parliament. For a whole MP, having the ranking member carry a chair and place it in the committee proceedings dents the image of our constituency. No one wants such a leader in this country, that’s why we called for this press conference,” he remarked.

He added, “He should resign as a Member of Parliament immediately. We call on the National Executive Council of the NDC to support our parliamentary candidate here at Nsawam,” urging the NDC Majority Caucus to support their parliamentary candidate, Amenorpe Philbert Fummey, as they challenge the results in court.Mr Okyere accused Dompreh of instigating turmoil in Parliament by urging NPP supporters to attack NDC members, tarnishing the constituency’s reputation.

Mr Okyere further claimed that Annor-Dompreh announced a narrow 210-vote lead in the December 7 parliamentary election, citing provisional figures from the Electoral Commission (EC). However, the NDC disputed these results, triggering unrest and destruction.

“Those Electoral Commission (EC) officials who had been incited to avert the results are warned,” he said.

Okyere appealed to the entire Majority Caucus to stand in solidarity with their parliamentary candidate on February 18 as they dispute the 2024 parliamentary election results in court.
