The Member of Parliament (MP) for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, has said that his side of the House will not give up their new Majority Caucus’ status.

According to him, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs would not tolerate any attempt to use the Ghana Armed Forces to intimidate them to give up their Majority Caucus status.

He indicated that the NDC MPs, just as they stood to win the Speaker of Parliament position at the beginning of the 8th Parliament, will courageously defend their new status.

“Ghanaians, don’t let any person deceive you. God has started revealing the events that would transpire in 2024. So, don’t let anybody deceive you. God has started manifesting what he is going to do.

“And as it started from the beginning of this Parliament, where we courageously stood for us to get the Speaker of Parliament, it is the same courage that we would be bringing on Tuesday,” he said in Twi in an interview with Oyerapa TV on October 20, 2024.

Lawyer Sosu indicated that on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, when the House returns for its sitting, it will reveal who the Majority Caucus of Parliament is.

“It is illegal for the military to enter the chamber; the chamber is the House of the People. Members of Parliament are masters of their own, when they are on the floor, the military has no room in our democratic dispensation… On this Tuesday, which I call ‘Defiant Tuesday’, be ready for a spectacle, because we will not sit by for any person to twist our hands to take away our God-given Majority from us, it won’t happen today, it would never happen tomorrow,” he stressed.
