The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has urged the Members of Parliament (MPs) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to use their new parliamentary majority responsibly.
He reiterated that the NDC had won the 2024 elections decisively and expressed his hope that their MPs would act in the best interests of both their party and the country’s democracy.
“We commend the NDC for their majority in parliament, but we also urge them to learn how to use that majority well, so it does not lead to abuse, which could ultimately work against their interests and the interests of our growing democracy.”
The NDC, led by John Mahama, won the elections by a landslide, performing strongly in both the parliamentary and presidential polls. With results collated from 270 constituencies, the NDC has secured 187 parliamentary seats out of the 276, while the NPP has 79 seats, with four independent MPs elected.
However, some constituencies have yet to declare their results, as the outcomes are being disputed by both the NPP and NDC.
For Mr Ahiagbah, the NPP plans to reassess its weaknesses and bounce back strongly. “We are going to bounce back, and we will come back stronger", he said on Joy News AM Show on Thursday, December 12.
