Akua Afriyie has reassured Mr. Obeng that he would not face any harm despite the threats he has reportedly received.

Her plea follows Mr. Obeng’s announcement that he was stepping down from the ongoing collation of parliamentary results, citing frustrations encountered during the process.

Mr. Obeng revealed that of the seven polling stations, results from four had been successfully collated, leaving three outstanding.

He explained that difficulties arose due to the inability of presiding officers to authenticate the statement of poll and the declaration forms.

But speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Akua Afriyie shared in Mr. Obeng’s frustrations but urged him to reconsider his decision.

“I understand that the Returning Officer may be feeling threatened by some actions, particularly from the NDC, but I urge him to rescind his decision and finish his work” she said.

She stressed the importance of completing the process to ensure transparency and fairness.

Akua Afriyie also pledged that they would support the Returning Officer in finishing the job and that peace should prevail throughout the process.

“We are praying that God calms his heart so he can complete the collation process and declare the results. He should remain calm and help us finish the job.”

The NPP PC confidently noted that she had secured copies of the pink sheets from all polling stations, which indicate her clear victory adding that the results would reflect the will of the people.
