Let us approach our duties with fresh vigour, determined to work together in the spirit of constructive dialogue and mutual respect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Majority Leader said the clarification provided by the Supreme Court should serve as a foundation for more effective parliamentary proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur democracy emerges stronger when we respect the wisdom of our Constitution and the interpretation of its guardians,\u201d he said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet us now focus on the critical work ahead, united in our commitment to Ghana\u2019s progress and prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Efutu MP and Leader of Government Business in Parliament, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, has welcomed the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling that the Speaker\u2019s declaration of four Parliamentary seats vacant is unconstitutional.
