A former Central Regional Chairman of the , Bernard Allotey Jacobs, has described the Speaker of 's declaration of four seats as vacant as a parliamentary coup d'état.
Reacting to the developments from while speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, Allotey Jacobs stated that the NDC caucus, through the Speaker, wanted to forcefully take over power that did not legally belong to them. "My interpretation of what happened last week in the declaration of four vacant seats of parliament was an act of parliamentary coup d'état led by Alban Sumana Bagbin.
It was an act of coup d'état and it must never happen again. "You can't force yourself to take power when it is not yours.
If you want Majority, go and do your campaign on the ground, come back to in 2025, and be the Majority," he explained.
