The Minority in Parliament has vowed to cooperate in government business only if President John Dramani Mahama addresses the post-election lawlessness.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Weija Gbawe, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, issued the caution at a press conference on Monday.
He stated that the President and the Election Security Taskforce must urgently 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 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,” he stated.
Citing the chaos that has delayed the collation of the Ablekuma North constituency parliamentary election, Mr. Shaib called for swift action to ensure that the Electoral Commission (EC) works without interference.
“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,” he added.
