The First Deputy Minority Whip, Ahmed Ibrahim, has called on Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to accept his new role as the Minority Leader and return to Parliament to resume government business.
This appeal follows Speaker Alban Bagbin's recent decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant, which has significantly altered the balance of power in the House.
The affected MPs-Cynthia Morrison (Agona West), Kojo Asante (Suhum), Andrew Asiamah (Fomena), and Peter Kwakye Ackah (Amenfi Central)-have all opted to contest the upcoming elections as independent candidates.
As a result, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) now holds 136 seats, while the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been reduced to 135 seats, effectively making the NDC the majority party in Parliament.
