Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa
The Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said that the NDC caucus will present names of viable candidates for the most important leadership positions in the chamber in the coming days.
According to him, this is part of their position that they have won majority seats in the eighth parliament of the republic.
In an interaction with CitiNews, when the seventh parliament session resumed on Monday, December 14, he said; “We are preparing to also have the first vice president and we have a list. When Parliament meets, we will present the names of the spokespersons, the first vice-president and the chairmen of the committees ”.
Minority members in parliament arrived for the session dressed in black clothing to express their displeasure at what they described as a flawed election and an attempt to mislead them.
In an attempt to elaborate on his protest, Mr. Ablakwa explained that “We will not accept this theft in daylight and that is why we are dressed in black today.”
According to the EC data, the NDC has 136 seats in parliament compared to 137 in the PNP with 1 independent result and another outstanding one that has not yet been published.
But the NDC insists they have won a majority in the chamber for what they call a veritable compilation of the results of the parliamentary elections.
Meanwhile, the NDC, which previously had only 106 seats in parliament, has regained about 30 more, while the ruling PNP, which had 169, has lost about 32 seats.
