The 98 NPP Members of Parliament calling for Mr Ofori-Atta’s removal are being led by Asante-Akim North MP Kwame Andy Appiah-Kubi.
They believe that Mr Ofori-Atta should be changed for a fresh hand to manage the economy.
The MP said they do not expect Mr Ofori-Atta to present the 2023 budget statement.
