Minority in Parliament is threatening to obstruct parliamentary business if the Majority’s attendance does not improve starting next week.
Since Parliament resumed in July, attendance from NPP MPs has been sparse, with rarely more than 30 present, leaving the Minority to shoulder the responsibility of conducting government business.
This situation follows the recent unveiling of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the running mate by NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Speaking on the floor of the House, Deputy Minority Whip Ahmed Ibrahim criticised the NPP MPs for prioritising campaigning with Dr. Bawumia over their parliamentary duties.
Mr. Ibrahim warned that if the situation persists, the Minority will instruct their legislators to also focus on campaigning, potentially crippling the House’s functionality.
