Information Minister, John Tia Akologo, has declined to bow out of the parliamentary race even though some of his constituents and members of the NDC are kicking against his bid.
The minister wants to be retained as the MP for Talensi for the 5th term.
Some constituents however claim he has not done much to bring development to the area over the past 16 years. They are therefore resisting his attempts to be re-elected.
But Mr. Akologo told Joy News the constituents do not have the right to thwart his parliamentary bid.
He maintained that until the electorate say otherwise, “there is no limit to being a Member of Parliament”.
“In NDC we have stated that no one should be impeded in his bid to want to represent the party; so if some people are sitting somewhere and they are saying that the MP shouldn’t contest; I want to ask this a rhetorical question, what authority do they have, what right do they have to make that kind of call?”
