The National Democratic Party (NDC) Parliamentarians on the Appointments Committee of Parliament have disapproved three ministerial nominees of President Akufo-Addo.
The rejected ministerial nominees included Information Minister designate, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Fisheries and Aqua Culture minister designate Mavis Hawa Koomson and the Minister-designate for Food and Agriculture, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto.
The NDC MPs said they were not convinced by the answers these nominees gave during their vetting.
Following the rejection of these candidates, their nomination will be presented to Parliament for a vote.
Komla Kluste, a Parliamentary correspondent further reported that the Minority also decided to defer its decision on five other nominees for varied reasons.
They include Health Minister-designate Kwaku Agyemang Manu, Communications and Digitalization Minister-designate Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, and Attorney General and Justice Minister-designate Godfred Dame, among others.
