Parliamentarians of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Thursday had to occupy the empty seats left behind by their Minority counterparts ahead of President Akufo-Addo’s 2020 Statement of the Nations Address (SONA).
The Majority had to take the decision to probably mitigate the effect intended by the Minority MPs for their walk-out.
Prior to staging their walk out, the Minority aside had flooded their chairs with posters on a variety of issues.
Notable among the inscriptions on the posters were issues relating to the compilation of a new voters register.
