Parliament Tussle: Bawumia Says NDC Sure Of Defeat That's Why They Want To Be Majority

• Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has mocked the National Democratic Party claiming majority status in parliament
• According to Dr Bawumia, the NDC's actions are borne out of desperation because they know they won't win the 2024 elections
• The flagbearer said the yeoman job done by the New Patriotic Party would help secure a decisive win in the December polls

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has ridiculed what he described as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) being eager to become the majority in parliament despite there being only six weeks left to the elections.

He said the NDC’s 'desperation' to experience the majority side comes from them knowing that they would lose the December 7 elections.

Dr Bawumia made the claim while addressing party sympathisers at Ho in the Volta Region on Tuesday night, October 22, 2024.

He said with only six weeks left to the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, it was baffling that the NDC was only concerned about whether or not they formed the majority side of the house after being the minority for eight years.

“It’s because they know they have lost the election. They want to taste the majority position for just six weeks," Dr Bawumia sneered.

According to Dr Bawmuia, the NPP is poised to secure a significant parliamentary victory come December 7 despite the machinations of the opposition NDC.

He said the NPP would stay focused on delivering sustainable development and economic opportunities for Ghanaians within the remaining short period before the elections.

He said the yeoman job the NPP has done within the past eight years would see it win massive votes across constituencies nationwide.

NDC takes over majority side

YEN.com.gh also previously reported that the NDC caucus in Parliament has forced out the NPP caucus following a tussle for the majority side.

Both parties sat on the majority side recently after Speaker Alban Bagbin declared that four MPs had to leave their seats after crossing the floor.

The NDC caucus leader joined the NPP caucus leader on the majority side as if to suggest that there were now two majority leaders in the house.
