NDC opposition
The NDC has been spearheading opposition to the Ghana-US military cooperation agreement.
The opposition MPs say Ghana may be surrendering her sovereignty if aspects of the deal that has been ratified by a one-sided Parliament are not altered.
President Akufo-Addo has remained committed to keeping the deal in its current form, stating that it was important to enhancing security in Ghana and within the West African subregion.
