Credible information reaching YawaNews reveals that the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has directed his legal team to file an appeal at the Supreme Court to stay its orders regarding Parliament’s ruling to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.
According to sources close to the Speaker, the case is expected to be filed today, October 22, 2024, coinciding with Parliament’s scheduled resumption of sitting. This legal move comes in response to the Supreme Court’s previous ruling that challenged the Speaker’s decision to declare the seats vacant, a move that has sparked significant political debate and tension.
The filing of this appeal is expected to intensify the already charged atmosphere in Parliament, as many stakeholders are keen to see how the legal and parliamentary processes will unfold. The case has become a focal point as the 2024 general elections draw near, with both political and legal implications hanging in the balance.
YawaNews will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as they unfold.
Meanwhile the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority Caucus in Parliament has taken over the seats typically reserved for the Majority, intensifying the already tense standoff between the two sides.
The move by the Minority, led by its leadership, comes as Parliament reconvenes for a highly anticipated session on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.
This bold action has heightened the political friction between the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), as both sides vie for control of the Chamber amid a series of legal and political disputes.
