Member of Parliament for Mpraeso, Davis Opoku Ansah, has boldly declared his readiness to face sanctions from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for supporting Nana Akua Afriyie’s candidacy in the upcoming Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun scheduled for Friday, July 11.
This comes in the wake of internal tensions within the NPP, as Akua Afriyie has confirmed her decision to contest, contrary to the party’s national directive.
In an exclusive interview on Thursday, July 10, the Mpraeso legislator revealed he is actively campaigning in the constituency for Akua Afriyie.
He acknowledged that his actions, along with those of others supporting her, go against the national leadership’s position, but insisted they are prepared to face the consequences.
“Akua Afriyie will win tomorrow, and when she wins, we should all be sanctioned. We are ready for it. If you think that the people of Ablekuma should not have proper representation, we believe in the NPP that our candidate is better than that of the NDC,” he said.
He further emphasised that Ablekuma North is a traditional NPP stronghold and questioned why the party would abandon a candidate it knows can win.
Meanwhile, Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr. Stephen Amoah, has also been spotted campaigning for Akua Afriyie, deepening speculation of growing resistance within the party’s rank-and-file ahead of the controversial rerun.
