The Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has called on Speaker Alban Bagbin and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to respect the Supreme Court's judgement.
This comes after, the apex court in a 5-2 majority decision, declared the Speaker of Parliament's decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant as unconstitutional.
Interacting with the press after the ruling, Mr Afenyo-Markin emphasised the importance of upholding democratic principles and respecting the rule of law. "This is a moment for all of us to rally around the choice we made in 1992 democracy.
Democracy requires decency, and that is the path the NPP majority caucus took to ensure that we do right to the law. "we want nothing more except to say that we expect our colleagues on the other side [NDC], including Mr Speaker, to respect the outcome of this case so that we'll move on as a nation," he said on Tuesday.
