The Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, has confidently reiterated that their side in Parliament will form the next majority.

Although both the governing New Patriotic Party and the opposition National Democratic Congress have split the seats evenly with the Independent MP-Elect for Fomena breaking the tie, Haruna Iddrisu insists the NDC has the numbers to form the Majority.

The Tamale South MP said ahead of today’s dissolution of Parliament.

He insisted the NDC won both Techiman South and Sefwi seats and must be given to him.

According to him, that will be in the interest of “justice and peace.”

“I am now an aspiring Majority Leader with Techiman South and the Sefwi to be secured and if that travesty of electoral injustice against the National Democratic Congress is reversed as it should in the interest of justice and peace, we will form a majority.”

We’ll use every legal means to secure majority in Parliament – Ofosu Ampofo

The Chairman of NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, had earlier asserted that the party will use every legal means to ensure its majority in Parliament.

He said the NDC’s analysis of the parliamentary election shows that it will form the next majority of the House.

Speaking at the NDC’s 39th-anniversary celebration of the 31st December Revolution, Mr. Ampofo said the party will use every legitimate means to fight for the majority of seats in Parliament

“We want to say authoritatively that the NDC believes that we have a majority in Parliament. We will use every legitimate and legal means to define that majority.

“We will not allow anybody to subvert the will of the people. We will elect the next Speaker of Parliament because the voice of the people represents the voice of God.”
