There will be no showdown on Tuesday when Parliament reconvenes, we will walk out if the need be, Alexander Afenyo Markin, the Majority Leader in Parliament has said.
Reacting to a press conference held by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) members of Parliament on Sunday, Mr Afenyo Markin said as far as his side from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was concerned, they have gone to the Supreme Court for an interpretation and the Supreme Court has issued a directive.
He said as far as he was concerned, bailiff from the Supreme Court was serving Parliament on Monday morning as agreed and if the other side decides to do otherwise when Parliament meets on Tuesday, we will simply walk out, he said.
Mr Afenyo Markin was speaking in a radio interview on Accra based Peace FM on Monday morning [October 21, 2024].
His statement follows public debate on the issue with some suggesting that there will be a showdown on Tuesday, especially when the NDC side had indicated they were going to switch seats to the Majority side following the Speaker's ruling last Thursday and go ahead to start amending laws to abolish the Communication Tax [e-levy] and others including going ahead to appoint a new Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament.
