Politics of Friday, 15 November 2024Source: www.ghanaweb.comVice Chairman of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's campaign team, Nana Akomea, has criticised the recent controversy surrounding Alban Bagbin's, declaration of four parliamentary seats as vacant, labelling it "totally needless." It's disappointing that figures like the Speaker of Parliament and Members of Parliament have dragged us into this," Nana Akomea stated. We don’t need to go to law school to understand that interpretation of the Constitution is reserved for the Supreme Court,” he added. His comments came after the Supreme Court of Ghana ruled on November 12, 2024, that Speaker Alban Bagbin’s declaration of four seats as vacant was unconstitutional. This decision was contested in court, and on November 12, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the NPP caucus, declaring the Speaker's actions unconstitutional.
