Everything that is wrong with the country’s democracy under President Akufo-Addo was summed up and manifested in Parliament on January 7, former president, John Dramani Mahama has said.
The country’s Parliament experienced chaotic scenes prior to the election of who becomes the next Speaker of the 8th Parliament.
Condemning the incidents, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer noted that the chaotic scenes were only a reflection of how bad Ghana’s democracy has sunk under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He said:” everything that is wrong with our democracy under this President played out in Parliament that night. Snatching of ballot papers, attempting to disenfranchise the voters by getting Assin North out of the Chamber and all the other things that took place, attempting to compromise the secrecy of the ballot, everything that played out that night, you know the entry of the Military into the chamber, I mean that is an abomination, it makes us look like a banana republic.
He continued: “Because you were there and you were emotionally charged, I’m sure that the infamy of that event did not strike you but when you see it on TV again, you will see how low our democracy has sunk under this President”.
