The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Adentan constituency has reacted to the threats of the opposition National Democratic Congress to boycott the inauguration of President Akufo-Addo for a second term if a re-collation of the parliamentary results in Techiman South is not done.
According to him, the presence of the NDC MPs at the inauguration will create congestion and as such they can choose not to come if they don’t want to.

We will have a place to sit. If they come, we will not have a place to sit. The
