Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has disclosed that stepping down from his role as Majority Leader stands as the most beneficial choice he has ever made.
The Suame MP clarified that his foremost objective was to uphold cohesion within the Majority coalition in Parliament.
Addressing journalists in Kumasi for the first time since his resignation in February, Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu affirmed that he harbors no remorse regarding his decision to resign.
“The major project ahead of us is breaking the eight and the project that I believe in is getting [Dr. Mahamudu] Bawumia elected as the president of this country and I don’t want to be part of anything that will obstruct that or negatively impact that, I don’t want to be part of it. I don’t want to be the eye of the storm and so I think it was the best decision I took.”
He emphasized his unwavering commitment to ensuring the election of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as president in the upcoming December elections.
Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu tendered his resignation as Majority Leader on February 21, 2024, following deliberations with key figures of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the Jubilee House. He was succeeded by Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Member of Parliament for Effutu.
