It would be foolish for the NPP Minority to nominate Joe Wise as speaker.

Joe Osei Owusu, the Bekwai member of parliament, has advocated against the minority in the 9th parliament fielding a candidate for speakership. He believes there will be no point in putting forward a candidate for the 9th Parliament's speakership. According to Joe Osei-Owusu, the minority in the 9th Parliament will need to take a different tack than they have in the past in order to be heard, meaning that going to the competition will not benefit them.
