Joe Osei Owusu, the Bekwai member of parliament, has advocated against the minority in the 9th parliament fielding a candidate for speakership. He believes there will be no point in putting forward a candidate for the 9th Parliament's speakership. According to Joe Osei-Owusu, the minority in the 9th Parliament will need to take a different tack than they have in the past in order to be heard, meaning that going to the competition will not benefit them.
This was revealed by Joe Wise, as he is commonly known, while he was on Joy News in Accra. "I'm not sure if it will be wise or appropriate to nominate any candidates. I would never offer such a recommendation if my opinion were requested or desired. I believe we should take a different approach to our job in Parliament. "We should take a different approach than what has been done in the past," he stated in a Joy News interview.
