Minority in Parliament says they accept the decision of the National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to defer the affirmative action directive because it’s in the larger interest of the party.
The Party deferred the controversial affirmative action policy which was going to guide it ahead of its Parliamentary primaries, after it had generated anger among some of the party members.
The policy sought to secure seats for female Members of Parliament (MPs). Speaking in an interview with Citi News, the deputy minority leader Dominic Nitiwul, however, insisted the decision is not an indication the party has abandoned its affirmative action plans. Nitiwul explained that the NPP dropped that particular affirmative policy because the “Minority is in sync with the party’s view that the timing of the affirmative action is not very good.” He said the policy should therefore not be implemented in this “election cycle.” He revealed that the “Minority and the MPs are all happy” with the new decision.
