The Ashanti Regional Council of Elders of the Opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has conveyed its sincere Christmas greetings to the Minority Caucus in Parliament and their families.
The elders, in a statement signed by their Secretary Victor Owusu commended the minority lawmakers for their outstanding performance in Parliament despite being outnumbered.
“The Ashanti Regional Council of Elders extends heartfelt Christmas greetings to you and your families,” the statement read.
“This year, in the face of a disadvantaged numerical strength of 87 in favour of the minority and the relentless tactics of bullying, frustration and intimidation by the majority of 189, you have demonstrated unmatched commitment, resilience and sterling qualities in debates that speaks to the very soul of our tradition.”
The council acknowledged that the minority caucus has acted as guardians of liberty and constitutional order, reminding the nation that democracy flourishes only when its foundations are defended with courage and clarity.
“In the spirit of Danquah, you have stood as guardians of liberty and constitutional order,” the statement added.
The elders also commended the minority lawmakers for their dedication to humanity and service, placing the dignity and welfare of the people at the core of every deliberation.
“While remaining grounded in the humanity championed by Busia, you have shown that leadership is not merely about power, but about service,” the statement read.
The council further praised the minority caucus for their efforts to build bridges, promote unity, and uphold the principle that strength lies in cooperation, even in the face of adversity.
“And true to the inclusive and service vision of Dombo, you have worked to build bridges, foster unity, and uphold the principle that strength lies in cooperation, even amidst adversity,” the statement added.
