A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Otchere-Darko has asked Members of Parliament to exhibit maturity in how they handle the super court order that stays the execution of the ruling of the speaker in declaring four seats vacant.He called on the House to avoid a seeming situation of chaos and anarchy."Parliament must, by all means, avoid a situation of seeming chaos and anarchy Tuesday.
I suggest the two Leaders and Speaker meet before then to agree or agree to disagree on next steps.
Not long to Dec 7, let maturity be our guide and guard," he wrote on Facebook.His comments come at a time when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) lawmakers said they would stick to the ruling of the speaker declaring four seats vacant, a ruling that makes them the Majority in Parliament.This is despite the Supreme Court order that stays the execution of the ruling of speaker Alban Bagbin.Addressing a press conference in Parliament on Sunday, October 20, leader of the NDC lawmakers, Dr Cassiel Ato Foprson said that "We will jealously protect our new Majority status and will not bow, retreat nor surrender our lawfully earned status.
We will also not abdicate our responsibility to the people no matter what!
