According to a news report by Adom Online, during a campaign event supporting Kyerematen—who recently departed the NPP to establish his own political movement—Adorye asserted that drastic measures would be taken should the NPP lose the election. “Take it from me, I have said earlier, no NPP official will be allowed to travel outside the country should they lose the coming election,” he declared to a journalist, emphasizing his serious intent.
Adorye’s comments reflect a palpable sense of frustration and urgency within the NPP, especially in light of Kyerematen’s recent defection and the rising support for his movement. His provocative remarks included a claim that he would “seize control at the airport” as soon as the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, announced the NPP’s defeat. He stopped short of detailing how such actions would be executed but insisted he was “not joking.”
The fallout from Adorye’s statements has been immediate and significant. Critics and political analysts are expressing deep concern over the potential threats to the rule of law and democratic norms in Ghana. Many have called for him to clarify his intentions, stressing the importance of respecting the Electoral Commission and the legitimacy of the electoral process.
