Minority slams Majority over poor attendance in Parliament.

The Minority caucus in Parliament has criticized the Majority caucus for failing to attend Friday’s parliamentary proceedings in significant numbers.

This follows concerns raised by the Minority over the lack of quorum, as the required minimum of 91 Members of Parliament was not met for parliamentary business on March 7, 2025.

Due to the lack of quorum, First Deputy Speaker Bernard Ahiafor suspended the House. In response, Kwadaso MP, Professor Kingsley Nyarko, expressed his concerns about the situation while speaking to journalists.

“We need one-third of the House to commence business. We come to the House to work. Ghanaians voted for us to come to the House to conduct business. The NDC claims to be the supermajority, but they struggle to get their members to come to the House to do business.

“Today what we have seen is just embarrassing… For us, this is worrying. How long can we continue to do this? We want Ghanaians to know and to tell our friends from the NDC to take the business of the House seriously because Ghanaians expect a lot from us. They want us to meet their needs and aspirations,” he said.
