A political standoff is unfolding in Parliament as member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, the nominee for Minister of Communications, has reportedly refused demands to apologize to President Nana Akufo-Addo and the Chief Justice in exchange for support from Akufo-Addo loyalists in Parliament.

According to sources, Sam George was called into a meeting where he was urged to offer an apology on the floor of Parliament to secure the backing of the ruling party’s members for his approval.

However, the outspoken MP has flatly rejected the request, maintaining that he did not apologize during his vetting and would not be pressured into doing so now or in the future.

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin is said to be pushing for a vote on Sam George’s nomination, despite uncertainty over whether the majority caucus will support his stance.

Some members of the caucus have reportedly indicated their willingness to vote in favor of Sam George, creating a split within the ruling party’s ranks.

Insiders suggest that in a bid to avoid embarrassment, some MPs may choose to abstain from the vote altogether. As tensions rise, further developments are expected in the coming hours.

This is a developing story. More updates will be provided as new information emerges.
