Member of Parliament for Banda and first Deputy Minority whip, Ahmed Ibrahim has hinted that the Electoral Commission is going to create twenty-five more constituencies ahead of the Presidential and Parliamentary elections in 2020.
According to Ahmed Ibrahim there is no space in the current chamber containing the two hundred and seventy-five (275) MPs.
He further added that very soon there will be a declaration of the creation of new twenty-five additional constituencies and is an assignment given by the current government to the EC.
“EC chair will come and say, she is going to create additional twenty-five seats, this is a New Patriotic Party (NPP) agenda, it will be out soon you will hear Bimbila North and South, Christians who are Ghanaians need to pray”.
Again you have hundred and ten Ministers, Ghanaians say it is too huge you then increase it to hundred and twenty-five.
“If you bring a policy and your subjects are suffering, you have to reduce it for them, this is a President who does not care, all he does is just a media President, go to the media let them speak about you”.
He lamented and noted that this is the kind of governance we have been subjected to, we need to put our house in order, God will make a statement and John Mahama will come back to power.
“Ashanti Region alone is going to get seventeen out of the twenty-five, and added that the Asawase constituency will be split into new constituencies”.
The constitution mandates the EC in Article 47 (5) of the 1992 constitution to review the division of Ghana into constituencies at intervals of not less than seven years, or within 12 months after the publication of the enumeration figures after holding of a census of the population of Ghana, which is earlier as May as a result alter constituencies”.
