Both the (NDC) and the governing (NPP), are urging the Speaker of Parliament, , to reconvene Parliament to resolve a contentious standoff, over which party should occupy the majority side of the Chamber.
The current dispute stems from the Supreme Court's stay of execution, regarding the Speaker's decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.
This has left both parties scrambling for control, leading to indefinite suspension of legislative duties in the country, including a critical requirement, which is the approval of the 2025 Budget per Article 179 of the 1992 Constitution and Section 21 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921) Also stalled are tax waivers and other key financial agreements, including approval of the US$250 million Ghana Financial Stability Fund.
The situation has put the speaker in a tight corner and at the risk of being accused of holding the running of the state to ransom.
