Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has described the 2024 December elections in his constituency as a “war” rather than a democratic exercise.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Annoh-Dompreh strongly denied any involvement in a shooting incident in Nsawam last year that left one person hospitalized.
He insisted that he has never wielded a firearm and urged the Ghana Police Service to conduct a thorough investigation.
“I have never shot a gun before. The soldiers who were protecting me only fired warning shots to disperse the crowd,” he stated.
Recalling the tense moments, he alleged that his opponents had orchestrated an attack to unseat him.
“They threw a stone at my car gate, and if not for God’s intervention, it would have hit me. The soldiers had to run for their lives,” he recounted.
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of planning the chaos in an attempt to take his parliamentary seat.
“It was a well-rehearsed plan by the NDC, targeted at snatching my seat. But I stood my ground and emerged victorious,” he asserted.
Despite the challenges, he expressed confidence in the legitimacy of his victory.
“In the midst of all the attacks, I won. My savior was my pink sheet,” he said, referring to the electoral results sheet.
He further noted that although the NDC has taken the matter to court, he and his legal team have yet to be officially served with their petition.
