The outgoing Majority Leader in Parliament and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has expressed concerns about the challenges the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs would face following their landslide victory in the 2024 elections.
Speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show on the state of Parliament, Mr Afenyo-Markin outlined potential challenges the MPs could face, particularly with its promise to operate a lean government.
The NDC has announced plans to reduce the size of the government to 60 ministers if they come to power.
However, Mr Afenyo-Markin foresees this pledge creating significant problems for the party. "They've promised 60 ministers, and of the 60, some would have to come from Parliament because of the constitutional custom," he explained. "So, they are going to have about 35 or a maximum of 40 MPs who will be ministers and deputy ministers.
