The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has affirmed its commitment to safeguarding its newly declared Majority status in Parliament despite the Supreme Court's ruling staying the order by the Speaker of Parliament.

The confusion over the leadership composition of the House started on Thursday, October 17, after Speaker Alban Bagbin declared four parliamentary seats vacant.

Three of the affected seats belong to the NPP, with the fourth held by the NDC.

The decision therefore engendered a new leadership crisis in Parliament, with the NDC which has been the Minority now claiming to be in the Majority with 136 seats against the NPP's 135.
