The conundrum on who has the majority in parliament between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) still continues as the two political heavyweights are still tied at 137 apiece.
It’s against
this backdrop that the NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwadaso in the
Ashanti Region, Dr. Kingsley Nyarko, the party which forms the government is
deemed to be the majority in parliament, not the other way round.
“The NPP which
has formed the government is the majority now. I don’t think Bagbin can say the
NDC has a majority…it won’t happen!” Dr. Kingsley Nyarko fumed on Oyerepa FM.
He further said;
“Caucus in parliament can come
together to form the majority in parliament. As it stands, 137 – 137 and the
independent former MP has declared to join us. So as we speak, they are 137 and
we’re 138”, he observed
“Our standing orders say that
the party with numerical strength and has formed the government is the majority
so NPP forms the majority.”
