The Minority in Parliament has asserted that the resignation of both President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia would yield greater benefits for Ghana than the recent ministerial reshuffle.

According to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), this bold stance is driven by the belief that a comprehensive change in leadership is essential to address the nation's challenges more effectively.

Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson emphasized that such a move represents the most effective means of alleviating the suffering and hardship experienced by Ghanaians.

In a statement issued on February 14, 2024, Dr. Forson reiterated the belief of the NDC Minority that the optimal solution to address the suffering and hardships of Ghanaians would be for both President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Bawumia to resign.

"For example, he rebuffed nearly 100 NPP Members of Parliament who demanded the immediate resignation of outgoing Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta," highlighted Forson, underlining the President's consistent obstinacy and defiance during discussions about a reshuffle.

"The suffering of Ghanaians requires a bold and transformative step, and we believe the resignation of both the President and Vice President is the way forward," urged Forson, emphasizing the urgency of considering this proposal as a means of bringing relief to the citizens and fostering positive change in the country.

On February 14, President Akufo-Addo implemented a ministerial reshuffle, relieving Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta of his duties, along with affecting 13 current ministers of state, including 10 cabinet ministers and two regional ministers.
