The Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has stated that he is not remorseful for his call for heightened tensions between the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).He emphasized that while he does not endorse violence, he believes it is necessary to respond in kind to those who deliberately instigate provocation.
In a preview of an upcoming interview shared by Starr FM on its Facebook page, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri, stated that he is prepared to engage with the National Security over his controversial remarks.The MP explained that his remarks were driven by the actions of certain NDC members, which he attributed to the party's position in power.
“I am not withdrawing that statement, I stand by that. I am ready to face the music. Whatever it takes. I will be happy to meet the National Security and I will tell them what is happening. Probably they are not aware of what is happening in this country.
"What is happening at AshantiGold, GRA, people taking hostage of State institutions because their party is in power and people are being attacked merely because of their political opponent. This is nothing to say that if you find an NDC person attacking an NPP person, help the NPP person to attack the NDC. There is nothing wrong with that," he noted.
On February 6, the MP urged his party members to strongly resist the NDC, at the residence of NPP parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, Akua Afriyie.
He urged NPP supporters to stand firmly behind their fellow party members, emphasizing that no member should waver in offering support during difficult times.
He emphasized that every NPP member should be willing to stand by their colleagues in difficult times without hesitation.His comments were related to the disputed Ablekuma North parliamentary election.Months after the general elections, the Ablekuma North Constituency remains without a parliamentary representative as the official outcome is yet to be announced, drawing significant public interest.
Both the NPP and the NDC have declared victory, resulting in a political standoff that has now been taken to court.
The NPP argues that its candidate, Nana Akua Afriyie, emerged victorious in the December elections, citing figures from the Electoral Commission. Conversely, the NDC disputes this claim, asserting that Ewurabena Aubyn rightfully won the seat.
Concerns over alleged electoral anomalies and inconsistencies in the pink sheets have intensified the dispute, further delaying a resolution.
