Mr. Alexander Afenyo-Markin has vowed that his side, the New Patriotic Party Members of Parliament would never assume the Minority seat in parliament.
He described that decision as a bad omen since it was close to election. “….I should go and sit on the Minority seat? Spiritually, it is not even good. We have three weeks to election I should go and sit on the Minority seat, is that my seat? I won’t even dare, I will never do it, that’s not my rightful place”. He emphasized that no NPP MP will do that.
He also alleged that they were privy to certain things that they cannot make public; adding that if the NPP had entered the chamber to enforce their right “perhaps we wouldn’t have been here”.
“We are decent people, we respect the court, we respect the law, and our doors are opened to Mr. Speaker’s call. I repeat our doors are opened to Mr. Speaker’s call; political decisions are for common sense approach, we believe in the common sense approach in solving this, and the common sense approach is for Mr. Speaker to direct the NDC side to go back to their seat”.
