The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Director of communications, Richard Ahiagbah, has connected the disruptive behavior of National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters in the constituency to Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh’s divisive remarks about the Ablekuma North parliamentary election.
Annoh-Dompreh had urged Ablekuma North’s NPP followers to assist their party representatives when they clashed with NDC members.
“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,” Annoh-Dompreh said, speaking to a group of party supporters during an NPP caucus leadership visit to the party’s parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, Akua Afriyie.
In addition to warning that the NPP will not put up with any more delays, the Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP accused the NDC of purposefully impeding the Electoral Commission (EC) from finishing the collation process.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom, Ahiagbah emphasized that the government and other stakeholders must address the underlying causes of the current election-related problems.
“This whole election in Ablekuma North is a problem, and I think it is one that should preoccupy all of us, including the president of the country, because the EC has called on the government to provide enough security for them to continue, collate, and conclude that election.
“So really, the conversation around the minority chief whip I think should not constitute the matter,” he said.
He highlighted that the disruption caused by NDC supporters has hindered the conclusion of the election.
“The thing is, why haven’t we concluded that election? It’s because the NDC supporters in the constituency are disrupting the process.
“The IGP is not doing what he is supposed to do, as directed by the High Court, to provide security for that election to be concluded. So those, for me, are the key issues,” he explained.
