In the heat of the by-election at Ayawaso West Wuogon on 31st January, 2019, the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo said that Mr. Delali Kwasi Brempong, was being held hostage in his own house by armed men.
He cited that particular reason as one of the reasons why the NDC was withdrawing from the race. However, addressing the Short Commission yesterday, the man at the centre of the drama, Mr. Delali Kwasi Brimpong, said that he was not in his house when the alleged incident took place. In effect, either Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo is right, and Delali Brempong was in his that both men cannot be right. Both version of the story cannot be true. One of them is lying at a monumental level, and it is not funny.
Indeed the events of 31st January has so worried the nation, that the president found it necessary to establish a whole Commission of Inquiry to go into the matter.
Yesterday, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate in the January 31 by-election at Ayawaso West Wuogon, disputed claims that his house was used as a harbor to hoard firearms and thugs.
He also said that he had left his house in the morning and so was not present throughout the alleged incident of violence.
Strikingly, it was the very fact that Delali Brempong was being held hostage in his house by armed men, that served as a reason for the NDC led by Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo to withdraw from the Ayawaso race.
Mr. Ofosu Ampofo said the party’s candidate, Delali Brempong, was being “held hostage” in the house. “In the circumstances, I have conferred with the parliamentary candidate and the leadership of the NDC. We have no option than to withdraw from the ongoing exercise,” the National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, said to the press. So who is lying? Delali Brempong, or Samuel Ofosu Ampofo?

Truth like a cork cannot be supressed under water forever. Ofosu -Ampofo should do the honourable and resign as an elder of the Pentecost church ASAP. He is not fit to parade hiumself as a Christian let alone an elder. How can an elder l1e and m1slead continously like this? Such 1ncompetent persons leading the largest opposition in the country? Tweaaaaa! One instant Brimpong is being held hostage in house, the next instant, the man himself says i wasn't there and that my nephew oh! my son was in the shower and called me that people are shooting from outside into the house. Aaaaaba! This does not even qualify to be KWaku Ananse story.
What at all is your problem here? Stick to the issues raised in this article and stop the noise. Who lied? Delali or Ampofo? PeaceFM has the discretion to publish stories they deem fit and appropriate in the eyes of the editor. Sorry you didn't get what you wanted.
Peace FM your vile propaganda will not wash. Did Kan Dapaah, Bryan Acheampong, IGP, The police Commander, and the rest LIE? They all told different stories. Your Partisanship will not help you as a station. YOU ARE NOT OBJECTIVE BUT BIAS.NO INTERNATIONAL MEDIA WILL EVER TAKE YOU SERIOUS. SHAME ON YOU

Mr. Brempon had nothing to gain an lie in this case. Mr. Ofosu Ampofo and NDC were hasty and mischievousss. They were looking for an excuse for their defeat. So they made unfounded statements to make the people to believe.
Elder Ofosu-Ampofo liieed.
