The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Odododiodioo, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuiye, has said that most of his colleagues have decided not to respond to any call on them to return to the House.He said they "do not care about the ruling of the Supreme Court" that says the declaration of four seats vacant by the Speaker Alban Bagbin was unconstitutional.The Supreme Court has by a 5-2 majority decision upheld the suit filed by Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

This prompted the New Patriotic Party Members of Parliament to boycott proceedings of the House.With the latest ruling by the Supreme Court, Parliament is expected to be recalled with the NDC MPs reverting to their original Minority status.But Nii Lante disagrees with the Supreme Court's ruling."It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court would give a verdict like this.
