He was of the view that the outcome of the 2020 Parliamentary election shows Ghanaians do not want division and want Parliament to agree on issues that will serve their interest.
"The 2020 elections in my view produced an inevitable outcome of no majority in Parliament. As I said earlier Ghanaians are not happy with the polarisation, divisiveness and excessive partisanship in the country. They want to see the opportunities of this country shared to everyone who deserves it"
