No Ghanaian Representative At ECOWAS Parliament

Ghana has failed to present its representatives to the ECOWAS Parliament almost one year after the institution of the sub-regional legislative body. Ghana’s Parliament has since January this year, not been able to take a final decision on its eight representatives because the Majority New Patriotic Party (NPP) group in the House has not selected its representatives.

The Minority side’s nominees include the Independent Member for Anlo, Victor Gbeho; NDC member for Lambussie, Alice Boon; NDC Member for Amenfi West, Kofi Asante and PNC Member for Bolgatanga, David Apasara.

Minority Leader Alban Bagbin says inability of the NPP side to nominate representatives is affecting the swearing-in of Ghana’s members of the sub-regional Parliament.
