Majority Leader
November 27, 2021
Majority Leader Osei-Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has taken a swipe at the Rt. Hon Speaker Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin for his comment on the floor after the rejection of the 2022 Budget Statement reminding the House that there is no majority party with both sides having 137 members each with one independent opting to do business with the ruling government party.
According to him the Majority side has not said any party in the current Ghanaian parliament has a Majority party and that is not lost on them that they have 137 seats in the House.
“Our caucus has a Majority, and the leader of our caucus is the Majority Leader that is whether or not we like it; you could have the NDC have 137, NPP could have 120 we would be a Minority party, the NDC would be the Majority Party. If all the other parties decide to join rank with the NPP, we form the majority caucus; the leader of that group is the Majority leader”
“And so, whoever refuses to accept this is his own problem; there are no co-leaders in the House, there is only one Majority Leader and the Leader of Government Business and doubles up as the Majority Leader”, he emphasized during a press conference organised by the Majority side of the House.
