‘There is a difficult battle ahead of us’ — Mensah-Bonsu to Akufo-Addo
“I do not want to be the eye of the storm. Nothing should be done that would precipitate cataclysmic consequences. That is why I am stressing peace and unity.
“At this stage, I would want to inform Mr President, the members of the leadership, herein present, the leadership of the party, and all others that I voluntarily declare my intent to step down as the Majority Leader before you, my colleagues here, and now, in order to afford the caucus the opportunity to choose their leader.
“I have served the party diligently ever since I entered parliament on the same day, January 7, 1997, with the president. I believe I have served the party very well to the best of my ability, and I have no regrets.
“There is a difficult battle ahead of us, to which enterprise all of us must commit ourselves.
“I do not want to be the eye of the storm. Nothing should be done that would precipitate cataclysmic consequences. That is why I am stressing peace and unity.
“I thank you, Mr President, for the opportunity afforded. Thank you all once again.”
Meanwhile, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has been appointed as chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Manifesto Committee ahead of the 2024 general elections.
