The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh Dompreh has come under heavy criticism for inciting supporters of the New Patriotic Party to engage in violent acts against supporters of the National Democratic Congress.
Mr. Annoh Dompreh addressing NPP supporters at Ablekuma North when the Minority Caucus visited Akua Afriyie, the NPP Parliamentary candidate urged supporters of the party to team up with their fellow NPP members to beat up supporters of the NDC in the event of any misunderstandings or brawl.
“If indeed you are a member of the NPP and you go to meet your fellow party member fighting a member of the NDC, join your party member to beat the NDC member,” he declared.
a visit by the NPP caucus leadership to the party’s parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, Akua Afriyie, Annoh-Dompreh stated: “If indeed you are a member of the NPP and you go to meet your fellow party member fighting a member of the NDC, join your party member to beat the NDC member,” he declared.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh who gave the Electral Commission one week to declare the result threatened that when the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga and the NDC will not see reason for the NPP candidate to be declared the MP-elect for the area based on available evidence, there will not be any peace 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 also affirmed that if the IGP will allow the NDC to continue to prevent the re-collation of the results, they will continue to demonstrate.|
He also ruled out any possibility of a re-run of the election as being speculated and accused the NDC of destroying electoral materials because they know they lost the election.
But many on various media platforms including social media have described his comments as irresponsible and far below his persona as a parliamentarian.
To many, his unacceptable behavior is becoming one too many having been one of the subjects of suspension in parliament following the chaos that erupted during the vetting process.
However, not too long after an apology from the Minority Leader to the Speaker and the Ghanaian Public which led to the Speaker lifting the suspension, he was again involved in this public incitement of violent act.
