The party also blamed the EC for their inability to secure a clear majority in the parliamentary election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NDC and ruling NPP have 137 MPs apiece with the only independent MP giving the NPP an advantage, hence their classification as the \u2018Majority Group\u2019 in the lawmaking chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2022 The NDC will treat the EC as an opponent going into the 2024 polls \u2022 John Mahama insists the EC must redeem its image after a poor 2020 election \u2022 He says the NDC will approach the next election like Azumah does in crucial bouts Former President John Dramani Mahama is on record to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
