The Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has once again taunted the opposition NDC, questioning why they are so eager to become the majority side in Parliament through unorthodox means with just six weeks left until the elections.
Last week, the Speaker of Parliament declared the seats of four Members of Parliament vacant after they filed to contest December's election on another party's ticket. However, the Supreme Court stayed the Speaker's decision, directing Parliament to continue recognizing the four MPs until the Court interprets the contentious article the Speaker is attempting to enforce.
Despite the Supreme Court's directive, the NDC Minority Caucus has been insisting in the media that they are the new majority in Parliament.
After telling the NDC over the weekend that they cannot fabricate a majority status in Parliament, Vice President Bawumia once again ridiculed the NDC, saying they are desperate to experience a majority status for just six weeks because they know they cannot win the December election.
"The NDC knows that they are losing this election. They know we are winning, so they are panicking," Dr. Bawumia told a large crowd in Ho last night.
"Just think about it: we have six weeks until the election, and their only concern is that they want to be the majority for six weeks after being the minority for eight years. Why? What is the rush? It’s because they know they have lost the election. They want to taste the majority position for just six weeks," Dr. Bawumia said.
He reiterated his belief that the NPP will win a decisive parliamentary majority in December, "because of the work we have done."
"For us, we know that we are going to stay focused. We are the majority, and we will be the majority party on December 7," he said.
"We will be the majority party—make no mistake about it. The NPP will win a decisive majority on December 7. And why are we going to win a decisive majority? It is because of the work we have done. We are gaining support across every constituency because of the work we have done."
