NDC MPs to Boycott Parliamentary Recall, Says Mahama

Former President John Mahama has instructed NDC Members of Parliament to boycott any emergency recall of Parliament. This comes after the Majority Caucus requested a recall for an urgent session on November 28 and 29. Mahama emphasized the NDC's strong opposition to what they see as attempts to push through controversial decisions under the guise of urgency .

The NDC Parliamentary Caucus, led by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has also appealed to Speaker Alban Bagbin to reject the recall request. They argue that the petition fails to meet constitutional and procedural requirements, citing insufficient justification for the urgency .

This stance aligns with NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia's directive for the party's MPs to boycott the recall, claiming it serves "corrupt interests." Both leaders have questioned the legitimacy of the Majority's request, especially close to elections .
