NPP's parliamentary seat manipulation has blown up in their face, echoing the themes of "Animal Farm".

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 Source: Mercy Mensah

The recent events surrounding the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana have drawn striking parallels to George Orwell's classic novel, "Animal Farm." The NPP's actions in parliament have raised concerns about their commitment to democratic principles and the rule of law.

Their attempts to vacate the seats of several National Democratic Congress (NDC) members of parliament, including James Gyakye Quayson and Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, have been widely criticized as blatant efforts to undermine the opposition and consolidate their own political dominance.

The public has recognized the NPP's actions as a blatant disregard for the principles of democratic representation and the will of the people. Ghanaians have become the "seasoned linemen" in this political game, capable of discerning the fairness or bias of the "referee" – in this case, the NPP-dominated parliament and the judicial system.

The NPP's numerical strength in parliament was a major headache for them, as a reduction in their majority could be a disaster. This led them to resort to various tactics to maintain their grip on power, including the attempted removal of Mr. Quayson and the persecution of Dr. Forson.

However, the Ghanaian people have shown that they are not willing to be passive spectators in this political drama. The public has vowed to adopt a "technical knockout" approach, refusing to allow the NPP's machinations to succeed. They have demanded a fair and transparent process, where the will of the people is respected, and the principles of democracy are upheld.
