The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament have stated that they will refrain from any chaos in the chamber as the House reconvenes today, November 7.
The First Deputy Whip and Tolon MP, Habib Iddrisu, gave the assurance in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM.
“What Kwame Agbodza, the Minority Whip, is saying—we will not engage in any drama. I can assure you and also Ghanaians that we in the NPP are law-abiding citizens.
“We are Democrats, and we will not be involved in any revolutionary chanting or fighting,” he stated.
This comes after Minority Chief Whip and Adaklu MP, Governs Kwame Agbodza, declared that his caucus will occupy the Majority side of the chamber amidst the controversy over the declaration of four seats as vacant.
However, Habib Iddrisu has stated that Speaker Alban Bagbin has not yet definitively granted the NDC caucus majority control.
“If tomorrow the Speaker cannot make it categorically clear that he never said the NDC was the majority and, for that matter, they cannot occupy the majority seat, and if he is going to bring drama in there, we will not be part of it. We will advise ourselves accordingly,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the Speaker, during a press briefing on Wednesday, stated that he does not decide where MPs sit in the chamber.
