NDC opposition party leaving Parliament before President‘s State of Nation speech. What’s your opinion on that?

Reactions to the diplomat’s post suggest widespread disagreement with the opposition MPs’ move to boycott the constitutionally mandated speech.

They’ll be at the foyer watching it on television. I don’t understand when you’ve the chance to listen to wisdom right beside you and move outside to watch it over the television.

The legislators, however, stand by their decision. In a press conference, they listed the closure of pro opposition radio stations, the Electoral Commission’s decision to compile a new voter’s register, among others as reasons for walking out of the House before the president’s speech.
