MP for Assin Central Kennedy Ohene Agyapong is advising President Akufo-Addo to reward Ashantis for saving him in the 2020 general elections.

Mr Agyapong said the Akufo-Addo led government would have been kicked out if not for the massive votes of electorates in Ashanti region

The vociferous legislator said the president should reward them by giving them many ministerial appointments.

“I congratulate the people of the Ashanti Region if it were not for them the NPP would have probably suffered defeat. Akufo Addo should give them a lot of ministerial appointments and more development should go there."

"Mahama was making a bogus argument that he has won 10 regions, only the Ashanti Region gave the NPP over 1,142,000 which cancelled the votes garnered by the NDC in almost 7 regions…I mean the votes from just one region cancelled that huge number of NDC votes. So I give the Ashanti Region a huge standing ovation."

“Some areas in Ghana are ungrateful, look at Oti, this government made the area a region but they voted against the NPP. We should be politically skewed that we maintain our stronghold first before you look for others.” He added as quoted by Pulsegh.

Meanwhile, the NPP said they will consider taking back the Member of Parliament for Fomena, Andrew Amoako Asiamah should he decide to re-align with the party, John Boadu, the NPP General Secretary has said.

Mr Asiamah lost in the NPP primaries to Philip Ofori-Asante but won the Parliamentary elections when he contested as an independent candidate.

John Boadu in an interview on Accra based Citi FM said, the leadership of the governing party will decide whether to welcome Mr Asiamah back to the fold.

“He still insists that he is a party member but by his actions, he forfeited his membership. He can reapply, he can decide to join us. It is not a decision that can be taken by another body on the National Executive Committee. It is early days
