The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has appealed to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to suspend the ongoing transition process until the Electoral Commission (EC) declares all parliamentary results.
His call comes amidst disputes over the outcome of several parliamentary contests, including his own constituency, Nsawam Adoagyiri.
Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, December 11, Annoh-Dompreh criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for alleged misconduct and urged the EC to establish a secure platform to announce the remaining results.
“Let me appeal to the outgoing president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. We know he has set in motion a transition process as a matter of course. We want to appeal to the president: he who comes to equity must come with clean hands, so the transition process should be halted”.
“His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo should halt the transition process, and John Dramani Mahama, president-elect, must show the same equity, must speak to his people, and we must ensure that all the other seats are declared duly by the EC before the transition process goes on,” he stated.
Annoh-Dompreh also denied allegations made by the Eastern Regional Chairman of the NDC, who accused him of shooting an observer, Richard Taboh, during a chaotic incident at the Nsawam Adoagyiri Collation Centre. Describing the accusations as “totally false,” he called on the Ghana Police leadership to conduct a thorough investigation into the shooting.
