On Tuesday, 12th November 2024, five out of the seven members of the Supreme Court panel ruled that Speaker Bagbin's interpretation of Article 97(1)(g) and (h) was unconstitutional.
The landmark ruling rendered the Speaker's declaration of the Agona West, Suhum, Amenfi Central, and Fomena seats as vacant on 17th October null and void.
The ruling also affirmed that the Afenyo-Markin-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) was the majority caucus in Parliament.
The five justices who ruled in favour of Afenyo-Markin included the Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, and Justices Mariama Owusu, Samuel Kwame Adibu-Aseidu, Ernest Yao Gaewu, and Yaw Darko Asare.
