The Supreme Court in its ruling on the case of the vacant seats has said that the ruling of the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin cannot take effect in this current parliament.
The apex court said it is therefore unlawful for Mr Bagbin to rule that the lawmakers had vacated their seats just for the reason that they filed to contest as independent candidates in the 2024 elections.
On Tuesday, November 12, the Supreme Court by a 5-2 majority decision upheld the suit filed by Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The two dissenting justices thought the apex court did not have jurisdiction over this matter.
