By Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has disclosed that his resignation from the position of Majority Leader was the most advantageous choice he has made.
The Suame MP cited his foremost objective as averting discord within the Majority faction in Parliament.
Addressing journalists in Kumasi for the first time since his resignation in February, Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu expressed no remorse over his decision to step down.
He emphasized his unwavering commitment to ensuring the election of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as president in the December polls.
“The major project ahead of us is breaking the eight and the project that I believe in is getting [Dr. Mahamudu] Bawumia elected as the president of this country and I don’t want to be part of anything that will obstruct that or negatively impact that, I don’t want to be part of it. I don’t want to be the eye of the storm and so I think it was the best decision I took.”
Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu resigned as Majority Leader on February 21, 2024, after a meeting with some leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the Jubilee House.
He was replaced by the Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
