Sam George says NDC will occupy majority side in Parliament on Tuesday

North Tongu, Ghana - October 20, 2024 - Ghana's Minority Caucus has vowed to occupy the majority position in Parliament on Tuesday, October 22, defying a Supreme Court ruling that halted the execution of the Speaker's declaration rendering four seats vacant.

Speaking at an NDC victory walk in North Tongu, Ningo Prampram MP Samuel Nartey George slammed the judiciary for politicization, citing recent decisions that compromise its independence.

“Take this recording to the Chief Justice that I said, I am now the vice chairman of the select committee on communication because I am part of the majority. Tell the judiciary that enough of the politics in our judiciary.

“The Supreme Court is a judicial wing not an extension of the NPP headquarters. The people of Ghana are fed up with the political decision and as a parliamentary caucus, we will stand up to defend the will of the people and defend their integrity and independence of parliament.

“But this defence is not going to only end on Tuesday. It starts from Tuesday till John Mahama is sworn in on January 7, 2025, and John Mahama needs a solid parliament. He needs men he can rely on.

“Two days ago he was in my constituency and he told the people of Ningo Prampram that he needs parliamentarians. He needs them to vote for their MP and that is what I can tell you. In parliament today, 275 MPs, if you want to count even five are doing their job, your MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is one of them.

“Let me tell you something. President Mahama needs a solid parliament. For President Mahama to be able to deliver their jobs. For President Mahama to be able to deliver on all the promises we have told you he needs to have a solid parliament.

“He needs people like Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa standing behind him in parliament. He needs Okudzeto Ablakwa. So my brothers and sisters of North Tongu on behalf of the NDC parliamentary caucus we say thank you for giving us Ablakwa. We ask you to bring him back for us,” he stated.
