\n

Former Majority Leader Abraham Ossei Aidooh has expressed concerns over Parliament\u2019s new standing orders, suggesting potential challenges for political parties in selecting parliamentary caucus leaders.<\/p>\n

This follows the resignation of Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu from the Majority Leader position on February 21, 2024.<\/p>\n

Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin had previously ruled that the appointment of caucus leaders should involve the political parties.<\/p>\n

However, in an interview with Citi News, Mr. Ossei Aidooh, the former NPP Tema West MP, argued that any interpretation allowing political party involvement in the selection process is legally incorrect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way it is carved creates problems for everybody. You cannot imagine some parliamentary caucus choosing a leader without consulting the political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, the Majority Leader has also been a minister, which is an elevation and so certainly there must be some consultations. How can you choose someone the president is not prepared to make a minister?<\/p>\n

\u201cLegally, the Caucus can choose a leader without consulting the party, even though that may never happen, but in case they do it, they will not be wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
