He mentioned the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu as one of the voices against the manager's sacking.

"Majority Leader, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu is against the idea of firing Chris Houghton. A lot of talks ongoing to get government in line but the government position now is that the coach is staying. There was a cabinet meeting yesterday and this issue wasn't discussed," he wrote on his X page.

According to a report by Asaase Radio, the leadership of the GFA has already made their intention known to some Executive Council members to vote for the dismissal of the coach at the meeting.
