Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has said he hasn’t flouted any rule by supporting Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in the upcoming presidential primaries of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He said his support for the Vice President had made some party faithful to turn against him with unsubstantiated allegations, including destroying billboards of rival aspirants.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh, who is also MP for Nsawam/Adoagyiri, is one of the at least 100 lawmakers, who are backing the candidature of the Vice President, to bear the flag for the party in the 2024 General Election.
He dismissed allegations that he masterminded the destruction of a billboard of another flagbearer aspirant, Kennedy Agyapong, in Nsawam, saying he has no hand in the act.
At a press conference, in Accra yesterday, Mr Annoh-Dompreh explained that the billboard was pulled down by the agency which owns it for the failure of Mr Agyapong’s team to reach financial agreement with it.
According to the Majority Chief Whip, since his declaration to back the Vice President’s bid, he has been the subject of verbal attacks by the Kennedy Agyapong team and on his media platforms.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh said as democrats, the intolerance to other people’s choices does not auger well for the party.
“They should respect my decision. My decision to support the Vice President is not out of nothing. It is based on substantive evidence of what the man can do for our party and this country,” he said.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh said he had the moral and patriotic obligation to ensure that he contributed to the victory of the NPP in 2024.
“I cannot be in the middle. We want to do something that has never been done in the history of the party and country and this would not take ordinary efforts to achieve.
“I want to be part of that history and therefore if I have evidence that there is a particular candidate amongst the lot who can make that history, I can’t hold on to that urge,” he said.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh called on followers of all the candidates in the contest to sell their messages to the delegates and tolerate the views of others.
The NPP goes to polls on Saturday where about 1000 delegates would be expected to elect five of the 10 candidates, to battle it out on November 4, 2023, for the flagbearer slot for the 2024 General Election.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
