The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin is said to have instructed his lawyers to file an application to set aside the Supreme Court’s order on the declaration of four seats vacant.
Bolgatanga East MP, Dr Dominic Ayine disclosed this while addressing journalists in parliament.
The former Deputy Attorney General noted this was information he had picked from reliable sources.
Dr Ayine insisted that, so far as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs were concerned, they were still the Majority.
“Mr Speaker must formally inform the House if he intends to comply with the Supreme Court’s directive.
“As it stands, we are not in possession of any official information that the Speaker has complied with the court order. So in our view, the status quo must remain,” he said.
The Supreme Court’s ruling and the Speaker’s decision to challenge it may shape the dynamics of the current parliamentary session.
This standoff raises concerns over the balance of power between the judiciary and the legislative arm of government, with some analysts warning of potential disruptions to parliamentary business.
