US-based
broadcaster
Kevin
Ekow
Taylor
has
asked
if
Afenyo
Markin,
who
is
the
Member
of
Parliament
for
the
Effutu
constituency,
will
now
agree
to
sit
on
the
minority
side
in
parliament.
Weeks
ago,
the
Speaker
of
Parliament
declared
three
seats
vacant
in
Parliament
making
the
NPP
side
the
minority
in
Parliament.
Unhappy
with
the
speaker’s
decision,
Hon
Afenyo
Markin,
who
was
the
Majority
leader
in
Parliament,
sued
the
Speaker
of
Parliament,
asking
him
to
rescind
his
decision
to
declare
those
seats
vacant.
The
failure
to
reach
an
agreement
on
the
matter
forced
the
Speaker
to
suspend
the
sitting
indefinitely.
Though
Hon
Afenyo
Markin
invoked
an
order
to
call
back
parliament
for
a
sitting,
the
sitting
ended
again
after
the
NPP
failed
to
show
up,
insisting
that
the
NDC
sat
at
their
position
in
Parliament,
which
once
again
forced
the
Speaker
to
suspend
sitting
indefinitely
again.
With
what
is
happening
after
the
December
polls,
with
some
NPP
MPs
losing
their
seats,
Kevin
Taylor
is
asking
if
Hon
Afenyo
Markin
would
now
agree
to
sit
at
the
minority
side.
He
posted:
“Will
Afenyo
Markin
accept
to
sit
on
the
minority
side
now
or
not
????
It’s
up
to
him
to
decide”
