Majority Leader and NPP Member of Parliament for Suame Constituency, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu says that the internal politics in the NDC might have compelled Ghana's longest-serving MP, Alban Bagbin not to seek re-election in 2020 elections.
This comes on the back of Alban Bagbin's decision not to seek re-election as Member of Parliament for Nadowli /Kaleo.
Alban Bagbin, the longest-serving lawmaker at the close of his party's nominations last week, did not pick a form to contest the NDC upcoming Parliamentary primaries.
The Majority Leader speaking on Nhyira FM said : “In our side of this world, it will be difficult for one to come back to parliament after contesting for presidential primaries and I know the internal politics in NDCâ€.
The Suame lawmaker also indicated that Alban Bagbin's decision not to seek re-election will leave a gap in ParliamentÂ
“With all his experiences gathered for close to 24 years, Bagbin will leave a gap in parliament for deciding not to contest againâ€.
