Embattled Member of Parliament (MP) for Suhum, Kwadjo Asante has revealed he has been removed from a Whatsapp platform of New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs.
The removal he said was done by the Majority Chief Whip and Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP; Frank Annoh Dompreh immediately he declared his intention to contest the 2024 election as an independent candidate.
“The moment I filed my documents to contest as independent, Annoh Dompreh took me off the NPP MPs platform but added me again about three days ago,” he said in an interview on Accra-based Onua TV.
However, Mr Asante said he had been silent until news about he is rescinding his decision to contest as an independent candidate was shared on the page.
“I haven’t spoken since they added me back and when I saw the publication of me rescinding my decision yesterday, I wrote that it was fake when it appeared on the page. It’s about me, so I needed to clarify things to them.”
“When he took me off, he didn’t tell me, so I don’t know why he added me back. Maybe my removal was a mistake,” he added.
Thsi comes in the wake of the controversy created following the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin’s declaration of four seats, including Mr Asante’s vacant, the MP said he has been re-included.
