The National Democratic Congress (NDC) aims to shift its status from minority to majority in Ghana's Parliament. Haruna Iddrisu, former minority leader, announced plans to invoke Article 97 during the next session, declaring that four MPs who are running as independents will lose their parliamentary status.
He emphasized that if these MPs leave their parties, they are no longer recognized as members.
Iddrisu assured NDC supporters that this constitutional interpretation would lead to the declaration of four vacant seats. He urged voters in Tamale North to support Alhassan Suhuyini in the upcoming elections.
Other speakers, like Sam George, encouraged trust in John Mahama’s leadership.
