Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been invited by the Minority Caucus in Parliament to take part in the 2024 mid-year budget review debate.
The Minority claims that the Vice President was invited because of his position as the team’s chairman for economic management.
According to a statement endorsed by Ibrahim Ahmed, the Deputy Minority Whip, vice presidents in office are permitted to take part in floor debates under parliamentary procedures.
The minority caucus requested that Dr. Bawumia debate its economic spokesperson rather than the party’s flagbearer, John Mahama, and thus extended an invitation to the NPP flagbearer.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the caucus noted “The debate begins on Thursday 25th July, 2024 in the parliamentary chamber at 10 O’clock in the forenoon. The Minority is extending this public invitation to the Vice President given his role as Chairman of the Economic Management Team of the government.”
