Supreme Court attempted to subvert the constitution – Tony Aidoo

A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Dr Tony Aidoo has criticised the Supreme Court for the order they gave to stay the execution of the ruling of the speaker of parliament that declared four seats vacant.He expressed the view that the Supreme Court has attacked the Constitution and that it sought to interpret it.Speaking on the Big Issue on TV3 on Tuesday, October 22, he said "It is not the speaker that the Supreme Court is attacking the Constitution itself, it is attempting to subvert the Constitution itself."The Supreme Court on Friday, October 18 directed Parliament to recognise and allow the four MPs to continue to serve as lawmakers until the case is determined.

This was after the Speaker had, on Thursday, October 17, declared four seats in Parliament vacant.The constituencies and the lawmakers are:1.

Cynthia Morrison, the current NPP MP for Agona West constituency in the Central Region, who has filed to run as an independent candidate.2.
