He must accept the second decision of the Supreme Court to throw away their application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe must bring another application to the Supreme Court, requesting the Supreme Court to vary its earlier decision to grant an injunction in respect of the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the basis for the application must be that on the face of the provisions of the Constitution, there is no issue arising in respect of interpretation. So it means that Afenyo-Markin\u2019s application to the Supreme Court to injunct Parliament and to stay the execution of the ruling of the Speaker in itself is not proper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not proper because it does not need interpretation of a particular provision, then you cannot call upon the Supreme Court by force to make an interpretation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><br \/><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><br \/><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidential Candidate of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has urged Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin to respect the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling while promptly seeking to overturn the Majority Leader Afenyo-Markin\u2019s application, which led to an injunction on his decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.
