Disregard reports of change in Majority leadership in Parliament – Joe Wise

First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei-Owusu better known as ‘Joe Wise’ has downplayed rumors suggesting changes in the leadership of the Majority Caucus in Parliament.

Reports suggest a viable reshuffle in the Majority leadership as Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu is set to be replaced by his Deputy, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

But speaking to the press in Parliament Tuesday, February 20, 2024, the Bekwai constituency representative in the legislature said, no such decision has been taken adding, “no one outside Parliament can make such changes.”

“We have no intention to change our leadership, disregard rumors of any change, reports going around are false. The Majority has not made any changes and so we want to tell Ghanaians that the leadership of the majority caucus has not changed.

Mr. Osei-Owusu also stressed the need for the Majority to be focused and united to address legislative matters and pursue the government’s agenda.

“We are confident in the leadership that we have, and the status quo shall remain,” he concluded.
