The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament are prepared to return to Parliament if Speaker Alban Bagbin issues a recall for parliamentary proceedings, according to Bawku Central MP, Mahama Ayariga. Apexnewsgh reports
This assurance comes after the indefinite adjournment of Parliament on Tuesday, October 22, following a contentious session between the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over which party holds the majority in the House.
Ayariga emphasized the NDC’s readiness to respond immediately to the Speaker’s call, highlighting their commitment to fulfilling legislative responsibilities despite ongoing political tensions.
The willingness of NDC MPs to return reflects their dedication to ensuring Ghana’s governance process continuity. They will promptly resume duties when directed by the Speaker, demonstrating their commitment to serving the nation.
The adjournment followed sharp disagreements between the NDC and NPP over majority side occupancy. Ayariga noted the NPP’s significant underrepresentation, with fewer than 30 members present, accusing them of lacking preparedness and not taking parliamentary business seriously. He criticized NPP MPs’ disruption of proceedings as part of Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s plan to maintain position and influence.
Despite the standoff, Ayariga reaffirmed NDC MPs’ preparedness to return when the Speaker recalls them.

The party commits to ensuring smooth parliamentary business and fulfilling legislative responsibilities for the country’s benefit. “Many NPP MPs are campaigning in constituencies; we’ll come when the Speaker calls and listen if he says we’re the Minority, but he hasn’t,” Ayariga stated on Accra-based Citi FM.
