The New Patriotic Party caucus in parliament has made an emotional appeal to the National Democratic Congress (NDC)and the Speaker of parliament to reorganise them as Majority members of Ghana's parliament.

Honourable Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, MP for Effutu and Deputy Leader of the NPP caucus in parliament in a press briefing said the NPP and the independent candidate have formed the majority caucus, therefore, Leader of the NPP is the majority leader of the house and expect the NDC to respect that position.

"Even if it's one that gives us that supremacy in terms of numerical strength, we could also want to invite Mr Speaker to hold this view as such so that there would be consistency in how we are addressed" Afenyo served notice.

Given details to why they should be called Majority, he referred to the Hansard of 7th January 2009.

He explained that the records of January  7, 2009, provided that the NDC had in the early days not gotten more than half of the entire numbers of the house which was 230 members.

The Deputy Leader of the NPP caucus revealed that, at the time of swearing-in, NDC had 114 seats whereas the NPP had 107 which does not make any of them Majority in the house because none had cross half of the entire membership of the house.

The MP for Effutu told pressmen that, during swearing-in, the NDC sat at the right-hand side of the speaker because two people from PNC and an independent candidate had announced their willingness to do business with the NDC on Radio and Television without writing officially to the speaker.

Afenyo-Markin indicated that they gave respect to the NDC led by Alban Bagbin as the majority leader yet NPP caucus's worry is, the standing orders of house reorganise only two sides of the house, that is Majority and Minority Caucus, therefore it will be inappropriate to be referred as Majority group.
