‘NDC won’t have peace in Parliament if they resist our victory in Ablekuma North’ – Annoh-Dompreh

Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has declared that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will frustrate parliamentary business until the Ablekuma North Constituency is properly represented in Parliament.

The collation of results for the constituency has been halted for the past month due to disagreements over the results. In one instance, the disagreement led to the destruction of property at the Electoral Commission’s regional office.

Addressing party supporters after visiting the NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma North constituency, Ekua Afriyie, Annoh-Dompreh warned that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) would have no peace until the issue is resolved.

“If the NDC, led by Mahama Ayariga, continues to deny that the NPP won the seat and distract the Electoral Commission’s process, they will never have peace in Parliament,” he said.

He also added that if the Inspector General of Police (IGP) fails to hold accountable some NDC constituents and supporters from Ablekuma North who caused damage to the collation exercise, the NPP in Parliament would “continue to demonstrate” to show their displeasure.

Mr Annoh-Dompreh, however, gave the Electoral Commission (EC) a seven-day deadline to declare the winner for the constituency, saying: “We are giving the EC one week; they must come and declare our candidate as the winner of the Ablekuma North election.”

Meanwhile, both Ewurabena Aubyn of the NDC and Ekua Afriyie of the NPP have erected billboards claiming victory in the disputed election.
