Freddie Blay, a former national chairman of the (NPP), has added his voice to the ongoing brouhaha in the and the Supreme Court of Ghana.
Speaking in an interview on Citi News on October 21, 2024, he stated that he would be surprised should the Speaker of , Alban Sumani Bagbin, forgo the recent Supreme Court ruling on his declaration of four seats.
He explained that he expects , the law-making body, to respect the decision of the Supreme Court. "I will be extremely surprised if the Speaker does not obey the Supreme Court decision because it is the Supreme Court that interprets laws, and its ruling is as simple as any other thing. "There is a separation of powers, but the three organs of government all have a role to play, and the role of interpretation is purely the role of the Supreme Court, and so the House has to obey its decision." "I will be surprised, and I don't think he [Speaker Bagbin] will defy the Supreme Court's ruling because he is a lawyer and understands the law, and he must abide by the ruling," citinewsroom.com quoted him as saying.
The (NDC) and the (NPP) are battling over who will become the majority in because the Speaker's declaration of the four seats vacant will give the NDC an automatic majority status should the decision stand.
