The Speaker of Parliament, , during proceedings on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, suspended Parliament indefinitely.
Speaker Bagbin, before suspending the proceedings of Parliament, indicated that even though the House had the numbers to form a quorum for a meeting, it did not have the numbers to make decisions per the Standing Orders of the House.
The House did not have the numbers for decision-making because New Patriotic Party Members of Parliament had boycotted the sitting over the brouhaha on which political party should form the Majority Caucus.
The Speaker mentioned the directive by the Supreme Court asking him to stay his declaration of four seats in the House vacant which has made MPs of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the Majority Caucus.
