After the EC announced its intention to create 45 new constituencies following the creation of new districts political parties led by NPP raised concerns against the move. Speaking to GBC's Radio Ghana, the Majority Leader Cletus Avoka, expressed the hope that Leadership of the House is likely to arrive at a consensus at today's sitting. He said consensus on the Constitutional Instrument was supposed to have been reached by August 15 but the death of President Mills delayed proceedings. Meanwhile, the Minority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu says the leadership of Parliament is looking forward to today's meeting with the EC to discuss the best way to move the process forward. He said the issue of whether or not the Constitutional Instrument will be accepted by Parliament should not be the focus now. Mr. Mensah Bonsu said the difficulty is to find out whose responsibility it is to effect the corrections in the document as Parliament by the Supreme Court decision cannot effect those corrections.
