The Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, has alleged that a powerful king in the country coerced the Fomena MP, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, to work with the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus in Parliament.
According to the Asawase MP, attempts by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to court the support of the independent MP proved futile due to the influence of the said powerful king.
“I spent time talking to his wife than himself as part of my strategy. I told her what we are ready to offer if he comes on board until a powerful king called him and obviously we all respected that king so…
“So yes, there was an attempt to poach him to the NDC and we were almost succeeding then the powerful king called him, so when he told him I said, ‘Well this is a king that me myself I revere so it will not be good to disobey him,” he said in a yet-to-be-aired JoyNews Hotline Documentary, ‘Ghana’s hung Parliament; a blessing or a curse?’
