Tensions flared on Peace FM’s morning show on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, as Nana Akomea, former Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), clashed with Kwesi Pratt Jnr, Managing Editor of Insight Newspaper, over the recent Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun as reported by Ghana Web.
The discussion initially focused on the violence surrounding the July 11 rerun, especially the physical assault of former MP Mavis Hawa Koomson.
However, it quickly spiraled into a heated exchange when Pratt accused Koomson of being a consistent troublemaker in Ghanaian politics.
“She foments trouble wherever she goes,” Pratt said, a remark that immediately drew the ire of Akomea. “This is character assassination. You’re stigmatizing her unfairly,” Akomea responded.
The disagreement intensified as both men interrupted each other, leading to personal attacks.
“Your behaviour is repugnant,” Pratt snapped at Akomea, who retorted, “You can’t just say anything and then deny it when challenged.”
As the shouting match escalated, Akomea accused Pratt of showing disrespect to his fellow panelists, while Pratt fired back, “You don’t respect yourself at all. I’ve tolerated you for far too long.”
The verbal sparring reached a point where host Kwame Sefa Kayi had to intervene.
However, Kayi rebuked both men, urging them to focus on the issue at hand.
“You are out of order,” he said, pointing out Akomea’s frequent interruptions of Pratt. “You have heckled him too much. Please stop it.”
