‘Stop following Bawumia and come to parliament’ – Minority warns Majority members

The Minority in Parliament is threatening to frustrate the business of Parliament if attendance on the Majority side does not improve starting next week.

Since Parliament resumed in July, there have hardly been 30 NPP MPs present, leaving the Minority to carry the burden of doing government business.

This comes days after NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia unveiled his running mate, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh.

Speaking on the floor of the House, Deputy Minority Whip Ahmed Ibrahim said the NPP MPs continue to follow Dr Bawumia to campaign at the expense of responsibilities to the House.

Mr Ibrahim warned that his side will also ask their legislators to go and campaign, a move which may leave the House handicapped.
