Majority Caucus will boycot Parliament- Afenyo Markin
The leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Parliament, Afenyo Markin, has reacted to the ruling of the Speaker’s ruling on the four seats yesterday.
The Speaker, Alban Bagbin, declared four seats vacant yesterday following a motion by MP for Tamale South Haruna Iddrisu.
With the ruling, the Minority would assume the reins of the majority.
Thursday evening’s ruling by the Speaker means the NDC now has the majority seats in Parliament with 136 seats, while the NPP now has 135 seats.
However, Alexander Afenyo Markin noted that until the matter is determined by the Highest Court of the land, the Supreme Court, the NPP MPs will boycott Parliament.
According to him, the Speaker has no right to make such ruling.
