A video has surfaced of a heartbroken woman angrily accusing the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of allegedly contributing to the demise of Akwatia MP, Ernest Kumi, through the heated legal dispute over the contested parliamentary seat.
According to the woman, the Akwatia seat is now empty; NDC can take it since that was what they wanted.
She further cursed any NPP member who might be involved in the sudden death of the MP.
The heartbroken woman angrily stated, “We will go for any election with you. After the votes, you have been saying we are going to vote again, the seat is now empty, NDC can take it, since that was what they wanted. We have left it for you”.
And any NPP member involved, God will punish that person. Today, rain has rained on them; if God is God, he will teach them a lesson”, she boldly added.
Ernest Kumi passed away on Monday, July 7, 2025.
The cause of death for the late Mr Kumi is yet to be officially confirmed.
Ernest Kumi was serving as a first-term member of parliament after his victory in the 2024 elections.
He secured the seat for the NPP in a closely contested election marked by allegations of vote buying, irregularities at some polling stations, with his victory ending up in the court.
The lawmaker’s death comes just weeks after the Supreme Court overturned his contempt conviction related to the disputed 2024 parliamentary election results.
The late Ernest Kumi, in February 2025, was found guilty by the Koforidua High Court after he defied an interim injunction barring him from presenting himself for swearing-in as an MP.
The Koforidua High Court issued a bench warrant for his arrest, alluding to his failure to attend court hearings and his disregard for the court’s authority.
