The Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam/Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has said he is ready to face the full rigors of the law should he be charged with inciting people to resort to violence.
The legislator has come under heavy criticism after he recently called on supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ablekuma North to stand by their fellow party members in confrontations with members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Addressing a gathering of party supporters during a visit by the NPP caucus leadership to the party's parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma North, Akua Afriyie, Annoh-Dompreh stated: "If indeed you are a member of the NPP and you see your fellow party member fighting a member of the NDC, join your party member to beat the NDC member." The Nsawam/Adoagyiri lawmaker accused the NDC of deliberately obstructing the Electoral Commission (EC) from completing the collation process and warned that the NPP would not tolerate further delays.
However, his rallying call has been widely viewed as encouraging the party's grassroots to resort to violence, with some even calling for his prosecution.
