NDC National President, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo
The national president of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, has said that his party will form a majority in the 8th Parliament.
Speaking on the anniversary of the December 31 Revolution on Thursday, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo said that the NDC will seek legitimate means to fight for the majority of seats in Parliament.
“We want to say with authority that the NDC believes that we have a majority in Parliament. We will use all legitimate and legal means to define that majority.
“We will not allow anyone to subvert the will of the people. We will elect the next Speaker of Parliament because the voice of the people represents the voice of God, ”he told an audience of mostly NDC supporters at the celebration of the 39th anniversary of the December 31 Revolution.
According to the Election Commission, both the NDC and the NPP have 137 seats in Parliament with an independent member of Parliament, but a party needs at least 138 seats in Parliament to form a majority.
Analysts believe that President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will face a difficult task in implementing economic policies in his second term.
The results declared by the EC on December 9, 2020 say that Akufo-Addo defeated former NDC president John Dramani Mahama.
Mahama has filed a petition with the Supreme Court to challenge the election results.
