James Klutse Avedzi, who is currently the Deputy Minority Leader, explained that his time in parliament so far is satisfactory enough for him to take retirement.
“I have decided that five terms are enough for me, I do not intend to run again. 20 years is enough for me, I think someone else should take over in 2024.
