The legal tussle over the declaration of four seats vacant in Parliament is far from over as a businessman has filed a motion for interlocutory injunction at the High Court to challenge the decision to recall Parliament from recess.
On October 17, the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, declared four seats vacant pursuant to Article 97 (g) and (h) of the 1992 Constitution.
His decision was challenged at the Supreme Court by Mr Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the court ruled to overturn the decision of the Speaker.
Days after the Supreme Court ruling and subsequent adjournment of proceedings by the Speaker, the leadership of the NPP served notice that it was going to recall the House to attend to some urgent business.
