Alex Tetteh Djornobuah, the Second Deputy Majority Whip, has expressed optimism that the Supreme Court will issue a final ruling on Speaker Alban Bagbin\u2019s decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant before the next session of Parliament.<\/p>\n
Djornobuah hopes that this ruling will prevent a repeat of the last sitting, where both NPP and NDC MPs claimed majority status and occupied the majority side, resulting in an NPP boycott of proceedings.<\/p>\n
The controversy stems from the Speaker\u2019s decision to declare the seats vacant, which the Supreme Court stayed. Despite this, the Minority continues to assert their majority status in Parliament.<\/p>\n
The Majority argues that the suspension of parliamentary sittings due to the dispute is hampering critical government business, which has prompted their call for a recall of Parliament.<\/p>\n
In an interview on Citi Eyewitness News, the MP for Sefwi-Akontombra expressed confidence that the Supreme Court will soon make a final determination, resolving the issue of the vacant seats and potentially easing the tensions in Parliament.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe court process will start from Friday, and if you look at the order from the Supreme Court, it ordered the Speaker and the Parliament as an institution to respond to the order.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we believe that before the 7 days will elapse, the court will do justice to whatever the NDC is claiming. We cannot force the court, but we\u2019re praying that they will do deal with the matter as soon as practicable.\u201d<\/p>\n
