Ghana’s parliamentary proceedings have come to an abrupt halt as Speaker Alban Bagbin announced an indefinite adjournment due to the absence of a quorum. Apexnewsgh reports
This decision followed a tense session on Tuesday, October 22, marked by clashes between the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over the composition of the Majority in the House.
The Speaker briefly mentioned receiving a communication from the Supreme Court but refrained from providing details.
Speculations suggest it relates to the ongoing legal battle surrounding the declaration of four parliamentary seats as vacant. The Supreme Court has temporarily halted this ruling, adding to the uncertainty.
Earlier in the day, NPP MPs staged a walkout, leaving the NDC to occupy both sides of the House.
The lack of quorum, coupled with escalating political tensions, led to the disruption. With the adjournment, the issue of vacant seats remains unresolved, further complicating the parliamentary situation.
The indefinite adjournment has left both parties in limbo, awaiting further directions.
The uncertainty surrounding the resumption of proceedings has raised concerns about the impact on the country’s legislative agenda.
As the situation unfolds, Ghanaians will be watching closely to see how the parliamentary impasse is resolved. Will the parties find common ground, or will the stalemate persist? Only time will tell.
