The South Dayi Member of Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Etse Kwami Dafeamekpor, has strongly criticized the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, following the Electoral Commission’s announcement of seven contested parliamentary seats being awarded to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
During the re-collation process at the EC’s Greater Accra regional office on Saturday, 21 December, Mr. Dafeamekpor claimed on TV3 that the NPP engaged in political manipulation to achieve a parliamentary majority.
He characterized the actions of the Majority Leader and his party as an obvious neglect for legal processes.
“When a matter is in court, don’t you respect the judicial process? Today, Afenyo is holding a press conference, praising the outcomes of exercises that are still pending before the Supreme Court. And then he tells me to accept it in good faith because we are brothers. We are not brothers, Afenyo, we are not!” Mr Dafeamekpor said, evidently frustrated.
The MP also condemned the NPP’s political strategy, alleging that the party engaged in deceitful methods to secure victories in elections.
He explicitly pointed out Mr. Afenyo-Markin for what he described as lies aimed at strengthening his public claims.
“Some of these falsehoods, Afenyo should desist from this conduct. He must stop concocting stories to embellish his press conferences,” Mr Dafeamekpor asserted.
He additionally cautioned about political repercussions, promising accountability if the National Democratic Congress assumes control.
“They may hold government positions now, but the real power has slipped from their grasp and is transitioning to us. When we take over, we will demonstrate where true power lies,” he warned.
