Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, who will serve as the majority leader in Ghana's next parliament, has called on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the new administration to lead with integrity, transparency, and accountability.

During his speech at the first parliamentary sitting following the December 7 elections, Dr. Forson emphasized that the NDC should focus on addressing the needs of the citizens rather than getting caught up in political maneuvering.

“May we never become like the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government,” he stated. “We have to be different. We cannot be like this NPP government. May we be guided by the principles of integrity, probity, and accountability.”

Dr. Forson underscored the necessity for the new government to correct the missteps of the NPP and focus on delivering tangible benefits for the everyday citizen.

He urged that policies should center on the needs of the people, emphasizing that the upcoming administration must not repeat past errors.

The majority leader-elect emphasized that government initiatives must prioritize the welfare of the electorate, not just the interests of political figures and their supporters.
