Greater Accra National Democratic Congress (NDC) regional chair Ade Coker has said there is a need to know the voting behavior of North Tongu Member of Parliament Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa when he was on Parliament’s Nominating Committee during the investigation of President Akufo- Addo Ministerial Nominees.
Ablakwa resigned from the commission on Wednesday, March 31.
He said in a letter to spokesman Alban Kingsford Bagbin that the decision was made “after days of careful thought and reflection.”
“I would like to state that the reasons for this difficult decision are both personal and in principle.”
There are indications that he resigned based on the announcement that the Committee unanimously approved the Minister of Finance to appoint Ken Ofori Atta.
Speaking about the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday April 3, Mr. Ade Coker told presenter Abena Tabi that “In the future, your voting record in parliament may be eliminated. If you go to America, there is nothing like consensus.
“We will have to find out during the investigation process what your [Ablakwa’s] the voting line was. That will determine us and help us to make a judgment about what you are saying about the principles.
“If you’ve consistently voted against the nominees, then that looks good, then you can say it’s no use still being on the committee.
“I want to know what the voting pattern was like. If the voting pattern was such that you lost, then you are obliged to accept the results of what has happened, but here we are, they just come and tell us that it is consensus.
