All Members of Parliament representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been summoned for an urgent meeting with President Nana Akufo-Addo at the Banquet Hall of the Jubilee House tonight. This information comes from reliable sources at The New Publisher.
According to insiders, the meeting, originally scheduled for Tuesday, had to be rescheduled to tonight due to the president's busy agenda.
Insiders reveal that among the topics to be discussed at the meeting is a dialogue aimed at reaching a consensus on the formation of a new leadership for the Majority Caucus in the current Parliament.

There are discussions regarding proposals for restructuring the current leadership of the majority.
Amidst these discussions, a few NPP MPs from the Ashanti Region held a brief press conference yesterday.
The conference, led by Joe Osei Owusu, the MP for Bekwai in the Ashanti Region, aimed to refute the speculations circulating about potential changes within the party's leadership.
“We have confidence in the leadership as they are and the status quo shall remain. We are aware that upon the nomination of one of the Deputy Whips as a Minister, a replacement would be made.
That replacement would be made by the Caucus when we have had the opportunity and the time to consider the appropriate replacement," Joe Osei Owusu, who also doubles as the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, noted.
He continued: “The Parliament of Ghana has adopted Standing Orders, which place the selection and change of leadership of the Caucus in the hands of the Caucus and not anybody outside Parliament.
Barely an hour after the Joe Osei Owusu press conference, another group of MPs from the same Majority Caucus were said to have assembled for another press conference to disassociate themselves from the position adopted by the first group.
Some members of the current leadership were said to have stepped in to restrain the second group of MPs, who insist they were neither contacted nor consulted by Joe Osei Owusu and his set of MPs.
Tonight’s meeting at the Jubilee is expected to be one of frank and open dialogue on the exact issues regarding the proposed reshuffle.
Meanwhile, some members of the Minority have started to mock the Majority and to describe the press conference addressed by Joe Osei Owusu as one with tribal undertones.
