'There’s no constitutional crisis in Ghana' - Bagbin on vacant seats controversy
SHARE

In a recent media briefing held in Accra on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, Speaker Bagbin addressed the ongoing political turmoil in the country. He expressed confidence in resolving the matter through dialogue instead of resorting to constant intervention from the Supreme Court.

Speaker Bagbin firmly stated, “There’s no constitutional crisis in this country,” emphasizing the need for decorum and maturity in handling the situation. He urged Parliamentarians to engage in thoughtful discussions to find a resolution.

During the briefing, Speaker Bagbin highlighted Parliament’s constitutional authority to revoke the seats of four MPs who had either switched party allegiances or declared their intention to run as independents in the upcoming elections. He also criticized the Executive and Judiciary for allegedly collaborating to undermine Parliament’s authority in recent events.

“This is a constitutional crisis; we’re in a country where Parliament is not functioning. What is happening?” Speaker Bagbin questioned, expressing concern over the current state of affairs.

Background information provided details of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo directing Speaker Bagbin to submit necessary documents by November 6, 2024, following a request for additional time by Sory to consult with the Speaker on a main case. Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame argued against Speaker Bagbin’s involvement in the case, stating that his office dealt with matters of constitutional interpretation and public administration.

The situation stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Effutu MP Alexander Afenyo-Markin challenging the Speaker’s declaration. Bagbin’s legal team argued that the Supreme Court did not have jurisdiction in the case, among other legal points.

The ongoing political tensions and legal disputes have raised concerns about the balance of power between Parliament, the Executive, and the Judiciary. Speaker Bagbin’s call for dialogue and respect for constitutional processes highlights the importance of upholding democratic principles in resolving disputes and maintaining stability in the country.
