In a scene that felt like a political drama, Members of Parliament (MPs) from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) made a big exit from the chamber on October 22, 2024.
This happened after the National Democratic Congress (NDC) claimed they were now the majority party.
The NDC MPs decided to sit in seats usually reserved for the majority, turning the parliamentary chamber into a real-life game of musical chairs.
The drama started on October 17, 2024, when Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin declared four parliamentary seats vacant, giving the NDC 136 seats compared to the NPP's 135.
