Dafeamekpor takes responsibility for Parliamentary chaos

Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has accepted responsibility for the chaos that erupted in Parliament on January 30, 2025.

Appearing before the ad hoc committee probing the incident, he expressed regret over the damage caused to Parliament’s image.

Dafeamekpor, one of four MPs suspended over the clash, admitted he was not proud of his actions but claimed the disruption was triggered by Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh’s insistence on his approach.

The brawl erupted during the vetting of Okudzeto Ablakwa and Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, leading to the destruction of parliamentary equipment.

The committee, led by Ho West MP Emmanuel Bedzrah, is investigating, though Minority members have withdrawn, citing bias.
