Mahama sees vacant parliamentary seats as a sign of NDC’s 2024 electoral victory
NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has interpreted the recent declaration of four parliamentary seats as vacant by Speaker Alban Bagbin as a positive omen for the party’s success in the December 2024 elections.
On Thursday, October 17, 2024, Speaker Bagbin approved a motion filed by former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu, which argued that four MPs—Cynthia Morrison (Agona West), Kojo Asante (Suhum), Andrew Asiamah (Fomena), and Peter Kwakye Ackah (Amenfi Central)—had forfeited their seats after declaring their intentions to run as independent candidates in the upcoming general elections, violating constitutional rules on parliamentary membership.
Speaking to NDC supporters at a rally in Ningo-Prampram, Mahama expressed that this development in Parliament signals a divine indication of the party’s impending victory in December. He encouraged supporters to stay committed and continue working towards success at the polls.
“If the report I am hearing from parliament is true, then something historic has just happened. The report I am hearing is that the speaker has declared 4 seats vacant. Of the 4 seats, 3 are from the NPP and one is from the NDC.
“So if those seats have been declared vacant, then it means in the life of one parliament, the minority has turned to the majority and the majority has turned to the minority. So for me, God is even showing a sign of what is going to happen, but we have to make it a reality on 7th December 2024.
