Bolgatanga Central lawmaker, Dr Dominic Ayine has said whether the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament will occupy the Majority side or not will depend on when the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin starts implementing the ruling of the Supreme Court.He stated that ordinarily, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) should be occupying the Majority side following the ruling of the speaker declaring four seats vacant.
However, per the Supreme Court order, they have to continue occupying the Minority side.Speaking on the Hot Issue on TV3 with Kemnini Amanor on Sunday, October 20, the former Deputy Attorney-General said "Ordinarily, we should be sitting at the Majority side because from the speakers' ruling, we have 136 members and the NPP has 135 members so they are in the Minority but of course, the orders from the Supreme Court will have to be implemented.
I don't know how long it is going to take for Mr speaker to implement it, if he is implementing the orders from Day 1, then it means that we revert to the position we were in, which means that we will not move to the Majority side.
But if he is not implementing it on Tuesday then we will be on the Majority side until such a time that he announces he has started implementation. "I believe Mr Speaker is going to instruct his lawyers to as a matter of urgency file a process on Monday to try to set aside the orders of the Supreme Court.
