Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Executive Director of the Africa Center for Parliamentary Affairs, (ACEPA) Dr Rasheed Draman has insisted that Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was pushed out as Majority Leader.<\/b><\/p>\n

He referred to a comment made by Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu to the effect that he did not want further confusion in the Majority caucus, hence his resignation, as the basis for concluding that he was forced out of his post.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu] said he didn\u2019t want further confusion in his caucus, if he wasn\u2019t pushed, I don\u2019t think we would have heard this phrase in his speech. The only conclusion I can come to is the fact that he was pushed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMajority Leaders don\u2019t resign, since I started following our parliament from the second parliament I don\u2019t know which majority leader has resigned, leaders get out through some negotiations in terms of the parties and the caucus in parliament,\u201d he said on Saturday, February 24.<\/p>\n

The Suame lawmaker resigned on February 21 during a meeting between the Majority Caucus and President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

The NPP NEC held an emergency meeting in Accra on Friday February 23 to announce the changes made to the leadership of the Majority. At that meeting, the NEC decided to keep Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu as Minister for Parliamentary Affairs.<\/p>\n

He said on the floor of the House that his resignation as Majority Leader was voluntary.<\/p>\n

He thanked the Speaker Alban Bagbin for the cooperation that has existed between them over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for the cooperation and collaboration that existed between you and I over the entire period that our paths crossed,\u201d he said among other things.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Leadership of the NPP has said the former Majority Leader was not forced out of his position.<\/p>\n

The MP for Efutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin was therefore appointed as Majority Leader.<\/p>\n
