Annoh-Dompreh questions EOCO’s claim that Manhyia South MP was unavailable for questioning

Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh has raised doubts about the Electoral Commission of Ghana's (EOCO) assertion that they had made all reasonable attempts to secure the voluntary attendance of Manhyia South's MP, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah. EOCO informed the court about their efforts to secure the MP's presence, expressing concern that crucial documents may be hidden or destroyed.

However, Annoh-Dompreh, speaking on Joy FM's Top Story, disputed EOCO's claim, stating that the MP had been readily available and consistently responded to their invitations. He emphasized that Awuah had frequently attended EOCO meetings to represent his client. Annoh-Dompreh also noted that the Minority had not yet received official confirmation of the arrest warrant, and they would await the formal process before determining their response.

The Minority Chief Whip urged caution, stating they would submit to due process only if the warrant is formally presented. Annoh-Dompreh hinted at the possibility of a politically motivated response, suggesting EOCO's actions could be a distraction tactic from the government's performance challenges.
