On Tuesday, 12 November 2024, a seven-member panel of the Apex Court, led by Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkonoo, ruled in a 5-2 majority decision against the Speaker's interpretation of Article 97 (1) (g) and (h).
This ruling affirms the NPP, led by Alexander Afenyo-Markin, as the majority caucus in Parliament.
Following this decision, NDC MPs have resolved to boycott parliamentary sittings until after the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections.
This move follows Afenyo-Markin's appeal to Speaker Bagbin to "do the right thing" by reinstating the NPP as the majority caucus.
