The Minority Caucus in Parliament has reaffirmed its commitment to standing firm despite facing what it describes as attempts at intimidation by the Majority side.
At a press conference on Monday, February 3, 2024, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin emphasized the caucus’s resilience, stating that their actions are guided by national interest.
“Indeed, we are going through difficult moments, but we will never be intimidated. Aluta continua, victoria acerta. We will not allow ourselves to be cowered. The mighty few and the happy few, we are going to stand our ground and ensure that the right thing is done all in the national interest,” Afenyo-Markin declared.
He also clarified that while the Minority remains steadfast in its stance, it has no intention of obstructing government business. Instead, he reaffirmed the caucus’s commitment to constructive parliamentary cooperation.
“We are not going to fight anybody, we are not going to disrupt and obstruct government business. So far, we have been the most cooperative in the chamber, and the NDC should applaud us for supporting them,” he added.
The remarks come amid rising tensions in Parliament, with the Minority alleging attempts to silence their concerns on key national issues. However, Afenyo-Markin assured that the caucus would continue to advocate for what it believes is in the best interest of the nation.
- As the parliamentary session progresses, all eyes remain on how both sides navigate the political landscape and whether bipartisan cooperation can be sustained.
