The prospect of Ghana's Parliament shifting leadership, with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) becoming the Majority Caucus and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) transitioning to the Minority Caucus, is becoming more plausible.
Members of the Minority Caucus, including former Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Haruna Iddrisu, have signaled that their party could form the Majority Caucus when Parliament reconvenes.
This possibility arises as two members of the NPP's Majority Caucus have filed nominations to contest the 2024 parliamentary elections as independent candidates.
But will this development reduce the number of NPP MPs in the Majority Caucus, and is there a precedent for this situation?
