An elder member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwame Pianim says there is no logic in the persistent boycott of government business by the minority in Parliament. According to him, the situation where NPP MPs boycott en masse all actions of President John Mahama whose legitimacy the party is contesting in court was creating credibility problems for the opposition party. The minority have since the inauguration of President Mahama, boycotted all activities of his government. They say participating in decisions regarding the president would undermine their case in court as they would have legitimised his stay in office as a validly elected president. But Mr Pianim told Joy News Parliamentary correspondent Elton Brobbey, the party was heading in the wrong direction. Until the court decides otherwise, he insisted, Mr Mahama remains the president and the NPP must come to terms with that. Mr Pianim discounted claims by the minority that they will be seen as legitimising the Mahama-led government if they participate in anything it does. “It is not NPP members who legitimise a president,” he said. “A president is legitimised by the sovereign people of Ghana who vote and the Electoral Commission whom all of us have agreed declares who is the winner...” “What do you mean you are legitimising? The presidency is an executive one...” he said.
