A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former National Organiser aspirant, Henry Osei Akoto, has urged Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, to seek legal recourse if he feels aggrieved about the recent parliamentary elections.
Mr. Osei Akoto criticized Annoh-Dompreh for what he referred to as “misbehaviour,” advising him to address his grievances through the proper legal channels.
He said the NDC itself is still contesting some of the parliamentary outcomes from the 2020 general elections in court.
In a social media post on December 12, 2024, Osei Akoto stated, “Annoh-Dompreh should stop misbehaving and go to court.
The NDC is still in court over seats that were stolen from us in 2020. If you believe your rights have been infringed upon, go to court. We cannot halt the transition because you lost your seat. Nsawam-Adoagyiri or Ghana does not belong to you.”
This comes amidst disputes over the results of the 2024 parliamentary elections.
Frank Annoh-Dompreh, on the other hand, has called for the suspension of the ongoing transition process.
In a press conference on December 11, 2024, he requested that the process be paused until the Electoral Commission (EC) has declared the results for certain constituencies.
He emphasized that ensuring all results are declared will guarantee a credible and trustworthy transition process, free from allegations of fraud.
“The EC has made it clear that it needs a security platform to declare the results. I appeal to President Akufo-Addo to halt the transition process until all outstanding seats are declared. Similarly, President-Elect Mahama should speak to his supporters to allow the EC to do its job,” Annoh-Dompreh said.
The EC is set to re-collate results from several constituencies, including Akwatia and Nsawam-Adoagyiri.
