The Supreme Court is set to deliver a landmark ruling today, Tuesday, November 12, on the controversial decision by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.
This follows a legal battle sparked by Bagbin's unilateral declaration, which has raised questions about the Speaker's authority and the constitutional process for determining parliamentary vacancies.
Counsel for the Speaker, Thaddeus Sory, failed to appear in court on Monday, November 11, and did not submit the required statement of case.
This absence comes after the Attorney-General raised concerns about the legality of Sory's continued representation of the Speaker, arguing that the Public Procurement Authority had not approved the engagement.
