A private citizen, Benjamin Tetteh Yemoh, has filed a lawsuit at the Accra High Court seeking, among other reliefs, a declaration that Speaker 's pronouncement of four ary seats as vacant is constitutionally valid.
The applicant, in the suit filed on Friday, October 25, 2024, also asked the court for an interlocutory injunction stopping the Speaker from recalling the House until the determination of all pending suits related to the four affected seats.
This follows the decision by the Speaker on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, to suspend the House indefinitely.
The Speaker's decision was informed by a ruling of the Supreme Court suspending his declaration of the four seats as vacant.
