Tema West MP Carlos Ahenkorah has said he snatched ballot papers during Thursday’s election for a Speaker of Parliament so as to ensure President Nana Akufo-Addo had the peace of mind to govern.
In a statement of apology for his misconduct on the floor of Parliament, Mr Ahenkorah explained: “I did it for the grassroots who relied on us in power to survive, the president who needs some peace to run the country and the greater NPP party as a whole because we cannot always allow the NDC to threaten and vilify us”.
“I apologise though to my family and friends, both far and near, who may be affected by my actions.”
“The NPP in me couldn’t be controlled. I apologise but I tried!!!”
