The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to suspend the transition process until all Parliamentary results are fully declared by the Electoral Commission.
Annoh-Dompreh’s appeal follows disputes over the declaration of several parliamentary results, including that of Nsawam Adoagyiri.
Speaking to the press on Wednesday, December 11, at the party’s office in Nsawam, Annoh-Dompreh criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for what he described as irresponsible behaviour, calling for the establishment of a secure platform by the Electoral Commission 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 described as totally false the accusations levelled against him about his involvement in the shooting incident at the Nsawam Adoagyiri Collation Center.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman in the Eastern Region, during a press conference, accused Annoh-Dompreh of shooting an observer, Richard Taboh, in the full glare of the public when confusion broke out at the collation centre.
Annoh-Dompreh, who denied shooting the young man, called on the leadership of the Ghana Police to institute a thorough investigation into the shooting incident.
