Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has fired a shot across the bow of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), reminding them that parliamentary majority is determined by victories at the polling station level, not through actions taken in Parliament.

Recent developments in Parliament saw Speaker Alban Bagbin declare four seats held by MPs contesting the 2024 elections on different party tickets as vacant, temporarily reducing the NPP’s seat count and granting the NDC a brief majority. However, the Supreme Court swiftly intervened, granting a stay of execution and reversing the Speaker’s decision until the substantive case is heard.
Dr. Bawumia seized on this episode, taunting the NDC for their “24-hour majority” at a campaign rally in Nkawkaw, Eastern Region. “Their majority lasted just 24 hours. It was the shortest-living majority in history,” he quipped.
The NPP flagbearer stressed that majorities are won at the polling stations, reaffirming his party’s commitment to securing a decisive majority in the upcoming December elections. “They need to understand that if they want a majority, they should come to the polling station, come to the constituency, win an election, and then go to Parliament. You don’t sit in Parliament and manufacture a majority for yourself,” he emphasized.
Confident in the NPP’s prospects, Dr. Bawumia cited his extensive campaigning across the country. “From what I’ve seen—having visited over 200 constituencies, campaigned on the ground, and analyzed the data—I can tell you, if we hold elections today, the NPP would have a decisive majority in Parliament.”
He urged NPP supporters to remain united and focused as they head toward the December 7 elections. “The election is not today. It’s on December 7.
But if we continue as we are, and we all come together, by midnight on December 7, you’ll hear that the NPP has won a decisive majority in Parliament. We will win at the polling stations.”
