The Leadership of the governing New Patriotic Party has described as spiteful, claims by some members of the party that they are to be blamed for the defeat of Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye in the Speakership race in parliament held on Thursday, January 7, 2021.

According to the NPP leadership, they did all they could to ensure that Prof Oquaye was elected Speaker of the 8th Parliament of Ghana’s fourth republic.

A statement issued by Alhaji Iddi Muhayu-Deen, Press Aide to the NPP General Secretary, John Boadu, said, “The National executives of the NPP have learnt with utter shock and dismay comments attributed to some members of the party including an incumbent MP, Hon Eugene Boakye Antwi, suggesting that, the party executives should be blamed for the defeat of the party’s nominee for the position of Speaker of Parliament, Prof Mike Ocquaye. Ordinarily, these comments, as unfortunate as they are, would not be responded to publicly but dealt with within the internal mechanisms of the party,” the statement read.

“Coupled with the other efforts put in place by the national executives of the NPP including the organization of a 2-day strategic retreat for all the 138 MPs-Elect, to, inter alia, ensure that the party’s nominees for the positions of Speaker and Deputy Speakers, were given the nod, it would not only be untenable but also highly mischievous for anyone to seek to blame the executives for the unfortunate turn of events. Facts, they say, speak for themselves,” he noted.

The aide opined that the General Secretary also played a major role during the background consultation which resulted in the NPP’s Joseph Osei Wusu being elected as first deputy speaker and the Fomena MP being nominated and appointed second deputy speaker.

“John Boadu, as a key stakeholder in the matters that were before the august house, was invited to participate in the background negotiations involving the leadership of both sides during the deadlock, whereupon he played an instrumental role in getting the NDC side to agree to support the NPP’s proposal to have Hon. Joe Osei Owusu and Hon. Amoako Assiamah, elected on consensus, as First and Second Deputy Speakers respectively,” the statement said.

He, therefore, urged the public to ignore the allegations against the leadership of the party and also called on the two caucuses in Parliament to work together so as to reflect the will of the people.

“The NPP leadership would continue to impress upon the members on its side (i.e. the Majority Caucus) to cooperate and collaborate with their counterparts on the other side to advance the progress and prosperity of our dear country, Alhaji Iddi Muhayu-Deen said.

Press Release

RE: BLAME NPP LEADERSHIP FOR PROF MIKE OCQUAYE’S DEFEAT

– NPP LEADERSHIP SETS THE RECORDS STRAIGHT ON THE MATTER

The National executives of the NPP have learnt with utter shock and dismay comments attributed to some members of the party including an incumbent MP, Hon Eugene Boakye Antwi, suggesting that, the party executives should be blamed for the defeat of the party’s nominee for the position of Speaker of Parliament, Prof Mike Ocquaye. Ordinarily, these comments, as unfortunate as they are, would not be responded to publicly but dealt with within the internal mechanisms of the party.

However, given the fact that no less a person than a Member of Parliament is pushing this “agenda” for whatever reasons, and the possibility of same being believed by some unsuspecting members of the party and the general public, the executives particularly the Office of the General Secretary, has found it absolutely necessary to respond to these allegations and accordingly set the records straight.

To start with, it is not true that no national executive of the NPP was present in Parliament at that special sitting to elect a Speaker. Indeed, the General Secretary of the party, John Boadu, representing the national party, spent the whole night in Parliament keenly observing proceedings and communicating with members and leadership of the NPP Majority Caucus on critical matters that were before them.

Not only that, John Boadu, as a key stakeholder in the matters that were before the august house, was invited to participate in the background negotiations involving the leadership of both sides during the deadlock, whereupon he played an instrumental role in getting the NDC side to agree to support the NPP’s proposal to have Hon. Joe Osei Owusu and Hon. Amoako Assiamah, elected on consensus, as First and Second Deputy Speakers respectively.

In the light of the foregoing, coupled with the other efforts put in place by the national executives of the NPP including the organization of a 2-day strategic retreat for all the 138 MPs-Elect, to, inter alia, ensure that the party’s nominees for the positions of Speaker and Deputy Speakers, were given the nod, it would not only be untenable but also highly mischievous for anyone to seek to blame the executives for the unfortunate turn of events. Facts, they say, speak for themselves.

Meanwhile, in the spirit of national cohesion and in furtherance of the appeal by President Akufo-Addo for the two Caucuses in Parliament to work together to reflect the will of the Ghanaian people, the NPP leadership would continue to impress upon the members on its side (i.e. the Majority Caucus) to cooperate and collaborate with their counterparts on the other side to advance the progress and prosperity of our dear country.
