The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Members of Parliament, are hopeful that the Supreme Court will soon settle the controversy over the declaration of four vacant seats before the House reconvenes.
This ruling, he hopes, will resolve the ongoing tensions and restore normalcy in Parliament.
Speaking in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM, the Second Deputy Whip and Sehwi-Akontombra Member of Parliament, Alex Tetteh Djornobuah admitted the ongoing standoff has disrupted parliamentary business.
Mr Djornobuah noted that, this has necessitated their request for a recall to pave the way for critical government business to continue.
“The court process will start from Friday, and if you look at the order from the Supreme Court, it ordered the Speaker and the Parliament as an institution to respond to the order.
“We believe that before the 7 days will elapse, the court will do justice to whatever the NDC is claiming. We cannot force the court, but we’re praying that they will do deal with the matter as soon as practicable,” he stated.
