Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has emphasized that parliamentary candidates whose results were overturned by the Supreme Court on Friday, December 27, 2024, are not eligible to take the oath of office as Members of Parliament.

According to Bagbin, the Supreme Court's decision aligns with his position that the proclamation of these candidates as MPs-elect was "illegal." The re-collated results for the Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, Tema Central, and Techiman South constituencies were declared invalid due to procedural errors.

This ruling followed a legal challenge by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which contested a High Court decision on December 20 that directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to re-collate results in nine disputed constituencies.

The NDC vehemently opposed the High Court's directive, arguing that it lacked legal merit and undermined the credibility of the electoral process.
