NDC wants to taste 'Majority' for 6 weeks because they know they are losing - Bawumia

The Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has taunted the opposition NDC again, questioning why they are so keen on becoming the Majority side in Parliament through unorthodox means with just six weeks left until the elections.

Last week, the Speaker of Parliament declared the seats of four Members of Parliament vacant after they filed to contest December's election on another ticket. However, the Supreme Court, in a ruling, stayed the decision of the Speaker and directed Parliament to recognize the four MPs until the Supreme Court interprets the contentious article the Speaker is seeking to enforce.

Despite the Supreme Court directive, the NDC Minority Caucus has been insisting in the media that they are the new Majority side in Parliament.

After telling the NDC over the weekend that they cannot manufacture a Majority status in the Chamber of Parliament, Vice President Bawumia again taunted the NDC, saying they are desperate to have a taste of Majority status for just six weeks because they know they cannot win December's election.

"The NDC knows that they are losing this election. They know that we are winning, so they are panicking," Dr. Bawumia told a large crowd in Ho last night.

"Just think about it: we have six weeks until the election, and their only concern is that they want to be a Majority for six weeks when they have been a minority for eight years. Why? What is the rush? It is because they know they have lost the election, and they want to taste the Majority position for six weeks," Dr. Bawumia said.

Dr. Bawumia reiterated his belief that the NPP will win a decisive parliamentary Majority in December "because of the work we have done."

"For us, we know that we are going to stay focused. We are the Majority, and we will be the Majority party on December 7," he said.

"We will be the Majority party, make no mistake about it. The NPP will win a decisive Majority on December 7. And why are we going to win a decisive Majority? It is because of the work we have done. We are getting support across every constituency because of the work we have done."

After being in the minority for eight years, the NDC is desperate to taste the Majority for six weeks because they know they are losing, Bawumia added.

"When the former President was in office, he told us that all the meat was finished, and we were left with the bones."
