Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said that analysis done by the governing party shows that they will have a decisive Majority after the 2024 general elections.
He has urged all members and supporters of the NPP to go fallout in their numbers on December 7 and vote for him and their parliamentary candidates.
Dr Bawumai said this after taunting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following the supreme court order that stayed the execution of the ruling of the speaker of Parliament declaring for seats vacant.
He told the NDC MPs that if they wanted to form the Majority in Parliament, they should go to the election and win it.
“Just yesterday they had the 24-hour majority, the shortest-lived majority that I know of in history. If you want the majority, come to the polling stations, the constituency, win an election, and then go to parliament, you can’t stay in parliament and manufacture majority for yourselves,” Dr Bawumia said on Saturday October 19 during his campaign.
“If elections were held today the NPP would have a decisive Majority, we are going to the polls and we know we’ll win a decisive majority, so let us all come together and vote in our numbers,” he added.
The Supreme Court on Friday, October 18 directed Parliament to recognise and allow the four MPs to continue to serve as lawmakers until the case is determined. This as after the Speaker had, on Thursday, October 17, declared four seats in Parliament vacant.
The constituencies and the lawmakers are:
2. Kwadwo Asante, the current NPP MP for the Suhum constituency in the Eastern Region, who has also filed to run as an independent candidate.
3. Andrew Asiamah Amoako, currently an independent MP for the Fomena constituency in the Ashanti Region, who has filed to run in the upcoming election as a candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
4. Peter Kwakye Ackah (Amenfi Central), NDC.
The former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu had petitioned the Speaker to declare the seats vacant by invoking Article 97 (1)(g) of the Constitution which stipulates that a lawmaker must vacate their seat if they leave the party under which they were elected or attempt to remain in Parliament as an independent candidate.
