It was a contrast of colours - black and white - when Parliament sat yesterday to hear the address on the state of the nation.
President John Dramani Mahama, in fulfillment of Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution, had come to the House to deliver the message on the state of the nation.
On the back of an overwhelming victory at the December 2024 presidential and parliamentary polls, the majority side, covering two-thirds of the hallow chamber of Parliament, was a sea of white as they turned out in their numbers to receive President Mahama to execute the constitutional exercise.
The minority side, on the other hand, were in various shades of black to participate in the sitting of the day. •Majority MPs in parliament in all white outfit The black was on the back of their demand on the President to reverse the revocation of appointments made by the previous government. •Minority MPs in parliament in all black outfit The SONA was billed to commence at 10 a.m., and the legislators started filtering into the chamber of the House by 9a.m.
