Ghana’s Parliamentary Majority has accused Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), of orchestrating disruptions to legislative proceedings through his influence over the Minority Caucus.

The claims follow Mr. Nketiah’s recent directive to NDC MPs, urging them to boycott emergency parliamentary sessions. He argued that such sessions serve “corrupt interests,” raising concerns about the motives behind the Speaker’s decision to recall Parliament.

In a sharp rebuke, Alex Tetteh Djornobuah, the Second Deputy Majority Whip, condemned Mr. Nketiah’s stance, saying it undermines the legislative process and threatens Ghana’s democratic institutions.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Djornobuah described the NDC Chairman’s actions as a barrier to effective governance, stating:

“If the National Chairman of the NDC, who claims they are the next alternative to lead this country, is behaving this way, I don’t think Ghanaians should take him seriously.”

He added that Parliament’s business must proceed without external interference, emphasising the Majority’s commitment to serving the nation’s interests.

The comments come amidst growing tensions between the two sides of Ghana’s legislature, as the Speaker’s recall continues to divide opinions across the political spectrum.
