\n\t\t\t\t\tThe leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has assured the public that his side will not engage in any form of physical altercations during the upcoming parliamentary session on Tuesday, October 22.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tHe made these remarks during an interview with Accra-based Peace FM on Monday, October 21, in response to threats from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs to occupy the majority side of Parliament.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tMr Afenyo-Markin emphasised that the NPP MPs are not inclined towards violence and would rather stage a walkout if the NDC MPs attempt to engage them in fisticuffs or forcibly take over their seats.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHe reiterated the NPP caucus\u2019s commitment to maintaining peace and decorum in the House.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis development follows threats by NDC MPs to assert themselves as the new majority caucus in Parliament following Speaker Alban Bagbin\u2019s declaration of four parliamentary seats as vacant.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHowever, the Supreme Court has stayed the Speaker\u2019s ruling, allowing the four affected MPs to continue representing their constituencies.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDespite the NDC MPs, led by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, claiming they are the new majority caucus based on the Speaker\u2019s ruling, Mr Afenyo-Markin stated that the NPP will continue to respect the legal processes and will not be drawn into any confrontation.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201c,\u201d he said.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
