Jomoro NPP members threw a party upon hearing my involvement in accident - MP claims

MP for Jomoro Constituency, Dorcas Affo-Toffey MP for Jomoro Constituency, Dorcas Affo-Toffey

Member of Parliament for Jomoro, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has claimed that some individuals celebrated an accident she was involved in this past August.

She has accused members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Jomoro of rejoicing over her misfortune.

The Jomoro lawmaker narrowly escaped death in a severe accident on the Takoradi-Cape Coast-Accra Highway.

The incident occurred in August when the MP’s Ford Raptor vehicle was involved in a collision caused by two heavy trucks attempting to overtake each other.

Speaking to Onua News at the Kotoka International Airport upon her return from the United States after undergoing medical treatment, Dorcas Affo-Toffey criticized Jomoro NPP supporters for wishing her dead in the accident.

She asserted that members of the NPP in Jomoro wished she had died in the accident so that a by-election could be held to unseat her.

“When the accident occurred, a group of people in the constituency threw a party wishing that I die. Their plan was that I should die so that they can win the seat in a by-election,” she claimed.

She maintained that there is no way the NPP can win the Jomoro seat from her, hence the NPP’s move to celebrate her accident.
