Let no NDC MP set foot in Parliament if recalled - Asiedu Nketiah

Johnson Aseidu Nketiah is chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)

Western Region, Ghana - Nov 17, 2024 - Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has directed party members in Parliament to boycott any emergency recall sessions, citing concerns over corrupt agendas.

Speaking in the Western Region on November 16, Asiedu Nketiah questioned the majority caucus's motives, alleging they have no genuine justification for reconvening Parliament with only three weeks until the 2024 general elections.

Asiedu Nketiah's call to action follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that overturned Speaker Alban Bagbin's decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant. The ruling, in favor of Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin's challenge, sparked controversy, with two justices dissenting on jurisdictional grounds.

Asiedu Nketiah emphasized that Parliament has its own rules and the NDC will work within those guidelines.

“…Let no NDC MP set foot in Parliament. If they like, they can go and burn the sea. There’s no work in Parliament that can be said to be an emergency. There’s no emergency. Parliament will only be recalled so they can continue with the insatiable corruption they have perpetrated for the past eight years.

“They still want to advance the corruption with just three weeks left. We won’t go close to them today or tomorrow. So, the judges should say what they want, parliament also has its own rules and we will work with that,” he stated.
