After several failed attempts to get their majority colleagues to back down on plans to allow the CI creating additional 45 seats to become law, the minority New Patriotic Party Members of Parliament have now turned to civil society groups and all Ghanaians to join their crusade to stop the creation of the constituencies. Minority leader, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu said it is not enough to pray and call for peace and called on the civil society groups, the Ghana Peace Council, the House of Chiefs and the Christian Council to demonstrate their desire for peace by standing up against the creation of the 45 new constituencies. He said the nation was on a slippery path to chaos and catastrophe if nothing was done about the controversy. Minority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu told a news conference in Parliament Wednesday that they were not opposed to the creation of new constituencies in principle but that the procedure being adopted and the timing of the exercise were inappropriate. He said it will be unfair to expect political parties to use less than a month to elect parliamentary candidates to contest in the new constituencies. That, he said will be in contravention of article 55 (4) of the 1992 constitution which calls on parties to be democratic in their operations. He told Joy News’ Sammy Darko shortly after the news conference the EC may be right in creating the new constituencies but must reasonable in using their power. “Is it proper, is it sensible, that is the point we are making. The sense of it cannot be enforced only by the NPP Minority in Parliament. It is for the country to tell the electoral commission that this path that you are pursuing will not be good for us,” he said.
