As we speak right now, despite the supreme court's ruling, NDC IS OFFICIALLY THE MAJORITY....
.....
The supreme court's ruling must first be officially submitted to BAGBIN and the speaker will have to deliver his response or the court's ruling to the entire parliament with both parties in presence, just as he ( BAGBIN ) declared the seats vacant when both parties were in parliament.

Until this procedure is not executed by the Speaker, the NDC IS OFFICIALLY STILL THE LEGITIMATE MAJORITY.
.....
The speaker has to present the supreme court's ruling to the MPs in parliament for it to take effect.
.....
So long as that's NOT YET done by the speaker. NDC IS STILL THE MAJORITY AS OF TODAY 13th November 2024.
....
Simple...

She should have been kicked out a long time ago. How do you allow this small girl to insult Ghanaians on TikTok and still remain in parliament? It i s because she is rumoured to be the rebel MP who voted against Mike Ocquaye to bring Bagbin to power? Now you are regretting it.

In 2020, the MP side in Parliament had a commanding majority. The Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Aaron Oquay, was from the NPP side. The Speaker, backed by his party, ruled that an NPP MP who had declared his intention to contest the next election as an independent candidate should be expelled from the Parliament of Ghana. His seat was declared vacant. And the NPP was happy.

That ruling was the first of its kind.

In 2024, the NPP, with the slimmest majority in Parliament but the Speaker from the opposition NDC, were up in arms when Speaker Alban S.K. Bagbin ruled that some NDC and NPP MPs who intend to contest the 2024 election should vacate their seats. The net effect put the NPP on the minority side in Parliament.

The NPP side went to court, and the Supreme Court ruled that an MP who declares his or her intention to contest the next election as an independent candidate or on the ticket of another party should not be expelled from Parliament. The NPP was happy.

That ruling was the first of its kind.

If you look at this critically, it is the NPP fighting itself, winning, and being happy.

This reminds me of a proverb on Page 103 of "The President Ghana Never Got", which says if you cast a dangerous spell, the gods of justice have a way of directing part of it to your tongue.

In Twi, it says: Sɛ wo to aduro bɔne a, ɛbi ka Databank.

Be careful with the evil you plot or the injustice you support today, even against your enemy or arch-rival. Unlike the NPP, you may not win and be happy both ways.

Your Npp Mps were living on your grandparents salary when they boycotted parliament for the past three weeks right? Sometimes one can't help but wonder if some of you are human beings at all with human reasoning abilities. You don't even know it's their constitutional right to boycott parliament just as you a citizen have the right to demonstrate isn't it?u people don't learn but only make noise, Npp jerks, always commenting garbage on here, total trashy commentaries.First take away your Npp Mps salaries first, evil tribalistic monkies, How many years was Adwoa Sarfo paid whilst living in America?

Seriously we are joking in this country. We always say nobody is above the law and that includes the supreme court too. Who checks them if they misinterpreted the constitution? They are just doing plain politics. The title of Article 97 1 g h is TENURE OF OFFICE OF MEMBER. Anybody can google the meaning of the word TENURE or it synonyms. You will see words like period, period of time, occupied time etc.. . The article continues that if an MP has been been sent to parliament and ceases to be a member of the party that sent him to parliament, he SHALL vacate his seat. Even my five year old granddaughter can understand, it implies that that the current parliament. Surprisingly, the Supreme Court justices who have been on the bench for over thirty years cannot understand this simple English.. I have lived in Europe for a long time. This is how supreme Courts in Europe give their judgements. They come together, the chief justice would give the ruling and give the individual reasons by the justices. In Ghana, the unanimous FC would read the rulings, take some time to give the reason, select one of their colleagues to write the reasons. There is a possibility that the time they gave the ruling, they never even reasons about it. Ghana has now become a banana republic.

Interference in the work of an equally important arm of government will culminate in what the world is witnessing now. Desecration of societal norms and practices by a few bootlickers in the helm of affairs surely will tear down the last shreds of democracy and plunge the state into anarchy. Everybody is saying either something useful or stupid. And strangely enough, some journalists have thrown caution to the winds and have chosen to stoke the flames of discord.
Be reminded that this is our motherland and we must strive to protect her from the iron fist of the oppressor. Instead of following the wrong path, let's choose truth and call spade a spade.

These people in parliament are taken us all for granted! I understand there are a couple of issues for them to iron out as part of the processes towards our next election. Their refusal to attend parliament only indicates their contempt for us all. Are they mindful of the consequences of our inability to hold the December 7th polls?

I bet in the absence of a working parliament, our constitution has provisions for the executive to take appropriate action, backed by civility! If a tragedy should strike, and in an extreme case, our entire parliament is wiped out, say by a super duper, cyclopean earthquake never known before, the executive should have enough interim power to manage the situation. The MPs can go ahead and put their own well-being in jeopardy! Ghana will live with or without them!

I fully support the NDC's MPs decision. If they allowed the NPP and SC to get away with this fraudulent decision, they're toast on all cases they'd bring before the courts when they won.

What these pro-NPP SC judges have simply done is to try to amend the Constitution through judicial review or interpretation, as recognised as one way constitutions change without formal amendments (K.C. Wheare), when there's no ambiguity whatsoever in those clauses, in a short term favour of the NPP. In effect, they're saying the clauses in the Constitution inserted to prevent cross carpeting or independents joining parties are unconstitutional; an oxymoron decision. If those clauses were in a party's constitution, as is the case with the NPP itself, and not in the Constitution, then I might support their ruling, as I, personally, don't really think parties should make rules to bind their MPs to the parties and decisions, but who cares what I think? MPs should have some independence of thought and not be lap-dogs of party whips. But, that's not the thinking in the NPP or those who drew up the Constitution when they inserted those clauses, whatever one may have to say against them, good or bad. And a precedent had already been set by former Speaker Mike Ocquaye in applying the clause, with everyone including the NDC and EC accepting it because he was right.

It was all political thought that determined that clause, hence, any change of that should be so too, not judicial, through formal expurging of those clauses from the Constitution; not this slanted review. The SC can rule that they infringe another section of the Constitution but must apply them as it is all the same, unfortunately; not rule that the Speaker was wrong in applying the clauses unconstitutionally, having done what is written in the Constitution. Do executioners commit murder? The SC has no right to determine our political thought or philosophy because politics trumps the law, but it must not be made to trump the law in an arbitrary, short-term, capricious manner without due processes being followed to change the law, or the Constitution. In this case, those processes weren't followed, giving all the chance, including the public, to debate the issue.

The law must be the law at any particular time and moment. If it is written in the Constitution that a person can only be President for two consequent terms, since Mahama has a break of two terms between when he was President, can he seek another term in 2028 after winning this elections hands down, just as Putin found a way to intrepret the Russian Constitution to become President again and again? This kind of judicial interpretation opens the door to the kind of clearly politically biased decisions that have been coming from the SC Prof. Raymond Atuguba studied and wrote an article on it and was roasted by people who must now bow down their heads in shame.

The lawyers used to join us Political Science students to study principles of government, political philosophy, etc., so they're not the only people who know those principles which they, the lawyers, have been in the forefront in breaching and bastardising, instead of acting as the guardians they are supposed to be. Shame on them!

The NDC shall be facing a tough time prosecuting the corrupt NPP people if they don't stand up to these pro-NPP judges and bullshit them. Being a judge doesn't make them sacrosanct and omniscient. Their insiduous interpretation is patently wrong.

The judges have spoken, these idiots should abide by the ruling and stfu Akuffo Addo should learn from Rawlings and kojo Tsikata. He should strengthen the military with his people. He should create his own version of battalion 64. Complete with his own version of Gbevlo lartey. They stayed in power for almost 20 years. Nkwaseasem.

These Ghanaian supreme court justices are very competent, like their USA COUNTERPARTS. They're doing a good job. Let's respect their rulings.

What Speaker Bagbin did was totally wrong because Every Parliament has it's Tenure after 4 years it is dissolved so you can carry it's effect on next Parliament and has nothing to do with next Parliament. Besides it has negative effects on all angles - on the Vacant Seats Constituencies, on MPs Future Ideals, on MPs Benefits & Emoluments, Bad Effects on Democracy, In a way it's like Punishing them for Changing their Political Alliance in Future and Constitution will not seek to Punish a person for Changing Political Alliance or Going Independence. It's Political Parties Which Seek to do that to serve as deterrent. Even the BYE ELECTIONS in Current Parliament, I think is not for Punishment but to fill a vacant Seats and correct issues in Parliament. I think The Supreme Court is 100% Right

The 9th Parliament should promulgate a bill to prevent the president from appointing the Chief Justice. However, the Judicial Council will recommend the most senior among the justices at the supreme court for two-thirds majority parliamentary approval. His removal should also be recommended by the judicial council to parliament for a two-thirds majority vote. The Chief Justice should be politically neutral and not known to associate with any political party. I believe this will bring sanity to the judiciary.

I blame the NPP for all the problems they've received from the NDC party which promised in 2017 to make the country ungovernable for the NPP. The NPP caused the 'skirt and blouse' voting of their supporters in 2020, giving the NDC some seats. Above that is how the NPP voted for Bagbin to be the Speaker against common sense.

These Asiedu Nketiah puppets better go and sit on their losers’ seats because whatever will happen will happen come Dec7. After childishly embarrassing the whole country by their match past in Parliament House, they’ve now realized that they are between the devil (Asiedu Nketiah) and their constituents who voted for them in 2020.I’m expecting some of them to fall like dry mango leaves in harmattan for disrespecting their constituents.
