The Deputy Minority Chief Whip in Parliament, Ahmed Ibrahim, has called on the Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to accept his new title as the Minority Leader and return to Parliament to resume government dealings.
In a major political development, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin, has officially declared four parliamentary seats vacant.
The affected constituencies are Amenfi Central, Fomena, Agona West, and Suhum.
The decision follows a formal petition submitted to the Speaker by Haruna Iddrisu, a prominent Member of Parliament from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former Minority Leader.
