General News of Wednesday, 31 March 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comJohnson Asiedu Nketia, the General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that the NDC as a party still holds the view that they won the Majority in the 8th Parliament and very soon the positions of the two political parties will switch in Parliament. When asked if the party thinks the courts will give them those verdicts, Asiedu Nketia said, “unless there is executive pressure on maybe the courts because we believe in the strength of our cases”. It would have been dealt with [a] long, long time ago but we are where we are because we think that the executive is overreaching its bounds in several otherwise independent state institutes…and you can see it happening in the appointment of this Parliamentary Board,” he explained. He further argued that the ruling party is of the position that he, Asiedu Nketia, should not be made a Board Member. This proposal came more than three months ago and it’s because of the stalemate between the Speaker and Majority Leader because the Majority has to give advice for the Speaker to act.”
