The motion of censure filed by the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, and seconded by the Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak Mohammed, seeking the removal of the Minister of Finance has been lost.
This was as a result of failure of the motion to obtain the constitutional two-thirds of membership of the House.
After the secret balloting, done in the absence of the Majority Members (MPs), who staged a walkout to have nothing to do with the motion, 136 NDC MPs voted while there were no abstentions nor ‘No’ votes.
“The vote is accordingly lost,” Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin stated.
