The leader of the majority group in the Ghanaian parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu has been asked to resign with immediate effect.
The renowned and refined politician is being asked to vacate his post by a group believed to be made up of staunch NPP supporters.
The politician in a recent submission indicated that the NPP should settle for a flagbearer who is not a member of the Akan tribe to lead them into the next election, thus 2024.
His reason is that the party has had two Akan leaders – John Agyekum Kufour and President Akufo-Addo so it will be prudent if the other tribes also enjoy such privileges.
Reacting to the comments made by the politici an, the group said;
“This, we find very worrying because all sophisticated politicians, party members, and citizens know very well that a lot of variables play in a dynamic political marketing context to determine the most favourable candidate to win an election.
Of course, we are not the least oblivious to his vice-presidential aspirations and what he seeks to selfishly achieve even at the expense of the party’s collective interest. That is why we need to call him to order before he does the party more harm than he had already done it in Parliament>
Is there any constitutional instrument either from the nation or party constitution which states that our party leadership should be based on ethnicity. Is he above the directive given by the party?
If he is not above those directives by the National Executive Committee of which he is a member, then he should resign as our leader of the August house for showing bad fate and setting a very bad precedence.”
