Hon. Eric Afful, the Member of Parliament (MP) representing Amenfi West, has issued a formal demand for an unqualified apology from Hon. Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the whip of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Parliament. The demand stems from a recent incident where a simple seat swap between Hon. Afful and Hon. Acheampong, during a parliamentary session ignited a surprising level of concern and speculation from the NPP whip.
Last week, for reasons as yet publicly unspecified, Hon. Eric Afful and Hon. Acheampong exchanged their seats in the parliamentary chamber. This seemingly routine rearrangement, however, triggered alarm bells for Hon. Frank Annoh-Dompreh. The NPP whip publicly questioned the rationale behind the seat change, suggesting that it might be indicative of a larger, potentially destabilizing issue. His concerns culminated in a loaded question, where he allegedly inquired whether the seat swap was a prelude to, or a component of, a potential “coup.”
Hon. Eric Afful clearly took exception to Hon. Annoh-Dompreh’s “coup” remark, viewing it as both a serious accusation and a personal affront. Given the gravity of the term “coup” in a democratic context, Hon. Afful’s demand for an unqualified apology underscores the seriousness with which he is treating the matter. He likely perceives the accusation as damaging to his reputation and potentially disruptive to the collaborative atmosphere within Parliament. The lack of further details surrounding the seat swap only adds to the intrigue, leaving the public to speculate about the underlying factors that might have prompted such an intense reaction.
