The Minority in Parliament has served notice to withdraw its cooperation in Parliament if President John Dramani Mahama fails to resolve the state of lawlessness after the general elections.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, January 20, 2025 the Second Deputy Minority Whip, Jerry Ahmed Shaib referenced the incidents of violence and the destruction of state property post-election by some individuals suspected to be affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) aim to prevent the Electoral Commission from declaring the Ablekuma North Parliamentary election results in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He has therefore admonished the President and the Election Security Taskforce to enforce law and order.
“To President Mahama, we call on you to take immediate steps to call your party’s thugs to order. You cannot pretend to be unaware of all the lawlessness and violence in this country. We also call on the Ghana Police Service, the IGP and the Election Security Taskforce to rise to the occasion and enforce law and order without hesitation.
“The EC officials and all the stakeholders in this electoral process must be protected. They are Ghanaians just like us. We hereby serve notice that should the president, who is the Commander-in-Chief, fail to take steps to protect ordinary citizens, we, the Minority Caucus, shall protest through lawful means and withdraw our cooperation in Parliament.”
