Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mahamudu Bawumia, has accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of using state institutions to target and intimidate members of the opposition party through what he described as politically motivated arrests.
Dr. Bawumia made the remarks during a meeting with Minority Members of Parliament held ahead of the resumption of parliamentary proceedings.
Addressing the caucus at the Accra City Hotel, the NPP flagbearer praised the Minority MPs for what he described as their resilience and commitment during the past 17 months.
According to him, the Minority caucus has remained a critical force in holding government accountable despite mounting political pressure.
“Over the past 17 months, when all has been said and done, the minority caucus has stood firmly as the last line of defense and a glimmer of hope for the Ghanaian public,” he stated.
Dr. Bawumia urged the lawmakers to remain steadfast and continue defending the interests of both the Ghanaian people and the NPP, despite what he portrayed as growing political adversity under the current administration.
The meeting formed part of strategic engagements between the party leadership and its parliamentary caucus as Parliament prepares to resume sitting.
