There has been a significant shift of power in Parliament as the National Democratic Congress (NDC), formerly the minority caucus, now becomes the majority caucus in the House.

This shift follows the declaration of four parliamentary seats vacant by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, on the floor of the House on Thursday, October 17.

The declaration came after a heated debate in Parliament, sparked by a petition filed by former NDC Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu.
