The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has conceded the the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will be forming the Majority in Ghana’s next Parliament while they form the Minority by a thin difference.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Newsnight program on Thursday after the NDC was declared winners of the outstanding Sene West Parliamentary elections, member of the NDC legal team, Baba Jamal noted that if the results declared by the Electoral Commission are anything to go by, then the NPP will form the Majority.
The NDC yesterday after the counting of the snatched ballot box in Sene West won and moved from 136 to 137 members in Parliament while the NPP have 137 with one independent candidate who has declared he’ll be joining the NPP.
Jamal told Evans Mensah on Newsnight, “If you want to go by what the electoral commission is saying, then we have 137 and they have 137. We have heard the declaration by the independent candidate that he is going with them, the NPP. That does not deter us from holding the government accountable to do the right thing in parliament.”
“I agree with him. On simple majority, yes they have the majority in parliament.”
