Vice President and NPP Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has questioned the opposition NDC's eagerness to claim a majority in Parliament just six weeks ahead of the December election.

Addressing a crowd in Ho, Dr. Bawumia ridiculed the NDC, suggesting their rush to hold a majority position—despite the upcoming polls—is driven by panic over their expected loss.

Last week, the Speaker of Parliament declared four parliamentary seats vacant after MPs filed to contest December's election on different party tickets. However, the Supreme Court intervened, staying the Speaker's decision and directing Parliament to continue recognizing the MPs until further interpretation of the relevant legal article.

Despite this, the NDC Minority has been vocal in the media, claiming a majority status. Dr. Bawumia criticized their stance, stating, "Just think about it: we have six weeks until the election, and their only concern is that they want to be the majority for six weeks after being the minority for eight years. Why? What is the rush? It’s because they know they have lost the election. They want to taste the majority position for just six weeks."

Dr. Bawumia reiterated his confidence that the NPP will win both the presidential and parliamentary elections, securing a decisive majority based on the party's achievements across constituencies.

Meanwhile, Leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Caucus, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has asserted that the NDC will resume their rightful place as the Majority when Parliament is recalled.

Speaking to the Parliamentary Press Corps following the indefinite adjournment of the House, Dr. Forson reaffirmed the NDC’s stance: “We want to make something very clear, the NDC members of parliament are in the Majority in Ghana’s parliament. We’ve made our position, and it’s so clear. We are not changing our positions. We see ourselves as the Majority. We are fortified by the Constitution and the Standing Orders of this House, and we see ourselves as the Majority.”

He expressed gratitude to Speaker Alban Bagbin for his directive, which the NDC respects, and emphasized the caucus's readiness to assume the Majority position when Parliament reconvenes.
