Former Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho, has revealed that the late Enoch Teye Mensah Mensah was displeased with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after losing the Ningo-Prampram parliamentary primary to Sam George.

According to him, Mr Mensah popularly known as E.T. Mensah believed that certain members of the party orchestrated his defeat.

During the burial service on January 5, 2024, the former Speaker in an interview with Citi TV said, “He wasn’t too happy when he lost the Ningo-Prampram parliamentary primary.

"And he thought some people might have orchestrated it against him, but we kept on encouraging him that he belonged to the inner core of the NDC."

Mr Adjaho further mentioned that the former Youth and Sports Minister eventually accepted his defeat later in life, labelling it as one of the less pleasant aspects of politics.

“He wasn’t too happy, but over time, he made it that it was one of those things in politics, and in politics, one thing that you have to learn is that there is no entitlement.”

Eulogising the former legislator, Mr Adjaho said E.T. was an exceptional organiser and the epitome of an MP who has ever graced the halls of Ghana’s Parliament.

“ET was a great organizer, very kind, very affable, but at the same time, a no-nonsense person. Once he is convinced about a position, he will push that view to its logical conclusion to his satisfaction.”

“He was one person in Parliament who could work across the aisle, and he was able to know what was happening in the NPP.

"Just as he knew what was happening in the NDC, he knew what was happening in the NPP, and so he would come to my office to brief me and help us take a position as to the way forward. He even opened his West Airport residence to some of us, where we met to discuss parliamentary strategies and all those things,” he said.
