Cassiel Ato Forson
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Caucus, led by Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, will move to take control of Parliament's leadership on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.
This follows Speaker Alban Bagbin’s ruling that declared four parliamentary seats vacant due to MPs violating constitutional rules by switching parties or running as independents.
