The political climate in Ghana has grown increasingly contentious in recent weeks, particularly following the Supreme Court's ruling that overturned a prior decision by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.
This incident has spotlighted the ongoing struggle between the majority and minority parties in the legislature, deepening divisions within the government and prompting discussions about the nature of parliamentary supremacy in the country.
Initially, Speaker Bagbin's declaration stemmed from a perceived failure of the affected MPs to fulfil their parliamentary duties, prompting widespread concern about potential disruptions to legislative processes.
The ruling sent shockwaves through the political landscape, with NPP MPs arguing that it undermined democratic principles and could set a dangerous precedent.
