Speaking in a media interview, Mr Annoh-Dompreh stated that the NPP will by all means possible take their rightful place as Majority in Parliament come Friday, January 15.

He emphatically indicated that the NPP would not tolerate any act that would undermine their rightful position in the House.

“On Friday, we will sit at where we have to sit. Whatever we will  do to sit at where we have to sit, we will sit there and they must understand this,” Mr Annoh-Dompreh stated.

According to him, should the NPP MPs be confronted by the NDC caucus, they “will resort to reasonable force to go back to where they belong, the Majority side.”

The NPP’s Chief Whip stated that the notion of Majority by the NDC is misplaced since the Fomena MP identified with the NPP caucus.

This act, he indicated strongly emphasised their position in the chamber without a doubt.

“Even when we were being sworn in, the MP for Fomena identified with us [NPP]. He sat with us after we had been sworn in. The issues about who is in the Majority is not in contention,” Mr Annoh-Dompreh stated.
