The National Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in Parliament has reacted to the recent Supreme Court ruling that reversed Speaker Alban Bagbin's earlier decision declaring four parliamentary seats vacant.
This ruling had significant implications for the NDC, which had briefly secured a majority in Parliament as a result of those vacancies.
During a press conference held on Sunday, October 20, 2024, NDC leaders made it clear that they would not stand for what they termed as attempts by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to undermine the law. "We resist any efforts by the ruling government to compromise the law," declared an NDC spokesperson, emphasizing that they believe the ruling was influenced by "partial Supreme Court judges" acting in the interest of the NPP's political agenda.
The party also raised concerns over a significant deployment of military and police personnel around Parliament in light of the ruling.
