The current meeting of the 8th Parliament of Ghana was adjourned indefinitely for the second time in less than a month after Members of Parliament for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) failed to show up for the House's sitting on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
The meeting was adjourned for the first time on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, after the NPP MPs boycotted sittings, citing an application they have filed at the Supreme Court challenging Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin's declaration of four seats in the House as vacant.
The failure of the NPP MPs to show up on the floor on Thursday, a sitting they requested, has sparked criticisms from a faction of the public, forcing a response from them.
The justification given by the ruling government legislators, however, appears to be inconsistent and is even generating more backlash from the public.
