“In the coming days, don’t be surprised we will begin the impeachment process against the president,” the Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson said a at press conference in Accra on Wednesday, March 20.
He further said they are ready to protect the sanctity of the constitution of the Republic of Ghana.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to conclude by saying that, the Right Honourable Speaker has made an important call. A call for Parliament to unite against the autocratic tendencies of our President and this government.
“We, in the NDC minority, are ready to protect the sanctity of the constitution of the Republic of Ghana. And we stand with the Speaker of Parliament in this. Let the President of Ghana and his government be aware that where this country is going is strange under his watch and the NDC Minority will not countenance it,” the Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson said at a press conference in Parliament on Wednesday March 20.
Speaker Bagbin, had earlier said that Parliament will not consider the ministerial nominees of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo until after the Supreme Court has finished hearing the suit against the anti-gay bill.
