Amid Ghana's ongoing political impasse, outgoing Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Agyapong, has called for greater cooperation between the majority and minority sides in Parliament, stressing that the institution's purpose is to serve the people, not push party interests.

During a media briefing, Agyapong emphasized that the Parliament's role is to ensure the well-being of Ghanaians, a responsibility that transcends political agendas.

"Parliament is meant to serve the people, not to push party agendas," he asserted, underscoring the need for both sides of the aisle to work together for the greater good of the country.

He specifically addressed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs, urging them to reflect on their plans for governance, should they win the next elections. "NDC MPs need to consider how they plan to govern if they win the next elections," Mr Agyapong said, pointing out that effective governance requires cooperation and constructive engagement between both sides of Parliament.

The outgoing Assin Central MP's comments come as tensions between the majority and minority parties continue to simmer, with each side holding firm to their positions on key issues. The deadlock has raised concerns about the ability of Parliament to effectively address critical national matters, including the passing of budgets and other laws.

While acknowledging the political disagreements, Agyapong warned that Parliament cannot function properly without collaboration.

"Parliament cannot function without both sides working together—this is a responsibility we can’t lose sight of," he said.

The former MP's statement reflects his belief that unity is essential for the effective operation of Parliament and the smooth functioning of the country’s governance system.

As Ghana navigates its political challenges, Agyapong’s call for unity is a reminder of the larger responsibilities lawmakers have in ensuring that their actions ultimately benefit the citizens they serve.

The question remains whether both parties can set aside their differences and find common ground for the benefit of the nation.
