In a 5-2 majority decision on Tuesday, 12th November 2024, the seven-member panel of the Apex Court, led by the Chief Justice, held that Speaker Bagbin's declaration was unconstitutional, rendering it null and void.
This ruling granted the reliefs sought by Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and reaffirmed his caucus as the majority in Parliament.
The five justices ruling 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.
Justices Avril Lovelace Johnson and Issifu Omoro Tanko Amadu dissented.
