What’s Happening In NPP As Andrew Asiamah Attends MP’s Orientation Despite Minority Boycott?
News Hub Creator8h
Hon. Andrew Amoako Asiamah, the independent Member of Parliament for Fomena, has attended the ongoing three-day orientation workshop for Members of the 9th parliament in Ho, Volta Region, despite a directive from the New Patriotic Party leadership instructing its MPs to boycott the event.
The NPP leadership, led by Minority Leader Alexander Kwabena Afenyo-Markin, had asked its MPs to stay away from the workshop, following concerns raised by the Minority Caucus over the venue and cost. The Minority claimed the choice of Ho was politically motivated and decided to boycott the event entirely.
However, Hon. Andrew Amoako Asiamah, who serves as the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, defied the NPP’s directive and participated in the orientation, signaling his independent stance on parliamentary affairs. His decision underscores a growing divide within the House, as some MPs prioritise parliamentary duties over party directives.
The workshop, organised to equip new and returning MPs with knowledge about parliamentary procedures and responsibilities, is ongoing at the Volta Serene Hotel in Ho.
Hon. Asiamah’s attendance suggests that some lawmakers believe the orientation is necessary, regardless of political disagreements.
