The Minority in Parliament has reaffirmed its resolve to stand its ground despite being outnumbered in the House.
Addressing the press on Friday, 31st January, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin declared that his caucus would not succumb to intimidation or pressure from the Majority side.
He emphasized that the National Democratic Congress (NDC), having won the recent election, must recognize the Minority’s role in governance.
“The NDC should know that, having won the election, they are to govern alongside us,” Afenyo-Markin stated.
He stressed that the Minority, though fewer in numbers, remained a significant force in the legislative process.
Emphasizing the resilience of his caucus, the Minority Leader insisted that they would not be bullied into submission.
“We are a mighty few and won’t be intimidated. We can’t be bullied,” he asserted, sending a strong message to the Majority side of the House.
His comments come after the chaotic scenes at Thursday’s Appointments Committee sitting, where some tables and microphones were destroyed allegedly by some Minority MPs over disagreements about whether to continue the vetting deep into the night.
