Nsawam-Adoagyiri Lawmaker, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has said that the Majority caucus in Parliament will succeed despite the changes made to its leadership.
He wrote on his X platform that there is an ultimate aim to succeed as a team and Caucus, but not an ‘individual’ elevation.
His comment is in relation to the resignation of Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu from his post as Majority Leader in Parliament.
“There is an ultimate aim to succeed as a team & Caucus, but not ‘individual’ elevation… Let’s bond and band together instead. The majority Caucus shall succeed. Let’s keep working hard,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has been kept as the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs despite his resignation as Majority Leader.
This was after the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) confirmed the MP for Efutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin as his replacement as Majority Leader.
The Suame lawmaker resigned on February 21 during a meeting between the Majority Caucus and President Akufo-Addo.
The NPP NEC held an emergency meeting in Accra on Friday February 23 to announce the changes made to the leadership of the Majority. At that meeting, the NEC decided to keep Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu as Minister for Parliamentary Affairs.
The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Justin Kodua Frimpong is expected to formally communicate the decision to Parliament, TV3’s Duke Mensah Opoku reported.
