The Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, has stated that his stance on the upcoming parliamentary recall will be guided by the directives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
This follows a recent call by NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, urging the party’s MPs to boycott any emergency recall of Parliament, which Nketiah argued is being convened with the intention of advancing corrupt agendas.
Murtala Mohammed made these comments during an interview with Joy News, where he emphasized that his decision will reflect the views of his constituents in Tamale Central.
He explained that the strong sentiment from the community, based on his daily interactions with them, is to reject the parliamentary recall.
He reiterated that his role as a representative in Parliament is to act in accordance with the will and vision of the people of Tamale, and he will follow their wishes in any decision he makes regarding the recall.
“I belong to a party and I represent a constituency. I came to parliament through the decision of the party and the vision of the people. Therefore whatever the party decides is certainly what the majority of the people in Tamale Central will agree to.
“I can tell you, if we are to pick the decision of the people of Tamale Central, overwhelmingly they think we shouldn’t even go to parliament and this information is based on the responses gathered from my daily community engagement with the assemblymen, and the people of Tamale central”.
