The leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus in parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has refuted claims of a brawl in parliament tomorrow.
His comment comes after a Supreme Court ruling which stayed the Seapeker’s ruling of four parliamentarian seats as vacant thereby allowing the affected MP’s to continue representing their constituencies.
NDC MP’s have threatened to take over the majority place when parliament reconvenes tomorrow October 22.
However, the majority leader revealed in an interview on Peace Fm, October 21 that his side in parliament will not engage in any form of physical altercation with the NDC tomorrow.
He said that the NPP is not a violent party and that if the NDC MP’s try to take them on in parliament tomorrow, they would stage a walkout.
The NDC caucus led by Caisel Ato Forson has asserted they are the new majority in parliament but Afenyo-Markin has disclosed the NPP will continue to follow and respect legal processes and would not be perturbed by the threats from their other colleagues in parliament.
“The NPP caucus will appear on the floor of Parliament. We stated that, we await the verdict of the Supreme Court so once the Supreme Court has spoken, we shall be present in Parliament..,
When we get to the chamber and the NDC decide to occupy the space for the majority, we won’t fight them. We shall walk out quietly. If they put Ato Forson on my seat at the right hand of the speaker, I am not going to fight. I will leave quietly,” he indicated.
