He shared his belief that the NDC is well aware of its dwindling prospects, stating, \u201cThe NDC knows that they are losing this election; they know that we are winning this election, so they are panicking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further questioned the urgency behind the NDC\u2019s push, emphasizing the irony of their situation: \u201cJust think about it, we have six weeks to an election, and their only concern is that they want to be a majority for six weeks when you have been a minority for eight years. What is the rush?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIf they want to be the Majority in parliament, they should come to the polling stations and win elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Vice President reassured his audience of the NPP\u2019s commitment to maintaining its status as the leading party, saying, \u201cFor us, we know that we are going to stay focused; we will not be distracted. We are the majority party, and we will be the majority party in Parliament come December 7.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National Democratic Congress (NDC) recently asserted its majority status in Parliament after Speaker Alban Bagbin announced on October 17 that four parliamentary seats were vacant\u2014three that were previously occupied by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and one by the NDC.<\/p>\n<p>This announcement altered the power dynamics, leading the NDC to hold a total of 136 seats, while the NPP has 135.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NPP Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia In a charged speech directed at his supporters, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana and the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) flagbearer, expressed his concerns about the National Democratic Congress\u2019s (NDC) frantic push for a majority position in Parliament just weeks before the December 7 elections.
