It’s clear the Speaker did NDC’s bidding to give them an advantage – Afenyo-Markin claims

The now Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has accused the Speaker of Parliament of acting in favour of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

This followed Speaker Alban Bagbin's declaration of four parliamentary seats as vacant.

The affected seats include three occupied by members of the incumbent party (now in the Minority) and one by the opposition NDC [Majority].

The legislators affected by the ruling are the NDC's Peter Yaw Kwakye Ackah of Amenfi Central constituency, Andrew Amoakoh Asiamah of Fomena, Kojo Asante, NPP MP for Suhum in the Eastern Region, and NPP's Cynthia Morrison of Agona West constituency.
