His comments come on the back of an order by the leadership of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for all their MPs to abstain from the vote, which requires two-thirds of MPs to ratify.

He added that they would refer to their colleagues by their regular names and not honourable if they didn’t earn the title by supporting the motion.

“...They (NPP MPs) must earn their title today. This is a call to the 137 on the Majority side. Earn your title. Else we will not call you honourable members of the rest of the term,” he said.
