I can assure you and also Ghanaians that we in the NPP are law-abiding citizens. We are Democrats, and we will not be involved in any revolutionary chanting or fighting.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf, tomorrow, the Speaker cannot make it categorically clear that he never said the NDC was the majority and, for that matter, they cannot occupy the majority seat, and if he is going to bring drama in there, we will not be part of it. We will advise ourselves accordingly,\u201d he stated.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"\/><\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The First Deputy Whip for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament, Habib Iddrisu, has reassured Ghanaians that the NPP caucus will remain disciplined when Parliament reconvenes on Thursday, November 7.
