Frank Annoh-Dompreh is the MP for Nsawam/Adoagyiri
The Member of Parliament for Nsawam/Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has expressed his astonishment at John Dramani Mahama’s return as President of Ghana following his victory in the 2024 general elections.
The lawmaker stated that he had completely dismissed the possibility of President Mahama making a political comeback to lead the country.
He explained that his conviction was based on feedback from several Ghanaians he had engaged, who expressed strong dissatisfaction with Mahama’s administration in 2016, further adding that they viewed him as a risk that citizens did not want to associate with.
“I never thought President Mahama would be president again. I believed it because from what I was seeing in the country and the feedback I was getting from people was that he was a risk they did not want to take due to his former governance,” he said during an interview on Starr FM on February 20, 2025.
The Minority Chief Whip recognised President Mahama’s remarkable achievement in garnering a large number of votes and increasing the margin of victory against the New Patriotic Party, which he had anticipated would win.
He added that, following the NDC’s victory, he conceded his previous misconception, realising that God governs the affairs of humanity, and not solely what man believes should happen.
“I have eaten my humble pie because of the margin with which he won, I realized that God can do anything,” he added.
President Mahama emerged victorious in the general elections, securing a total of 6,591,790 votes, which represents 56.42% of the vote, compared to the New Patriotic Party’s 4,877,611 votes, or 41.75%.
