The Supreme Court of Ghana has dismissed an application by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, which sought to overturn an earlier ruling that paused his declaration of four parliamentary seats as vacant.
This decision is the latest development in a legal battle involving the Speaker's authority and the judicial intervention in parliamentary decisions.
Speaker Bagbin filed the application in an attempt to overturn the Supreme Court's initial decision that had temporarily restrained him from enforcing his ruling on the four seats.
The application also sought an order to nullify the writ filed by Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, which requested the court to prevent Bagbin from making further rulings on the contested seats.
