Stand-off in Parliament: Speaker Bagbin should have hastened slowly – Gary Nimako

Gary Nimako, NPP’s Legal Affairs Director, voiced concerns over Speaker Alban Bagbin’s handling of a parliamentary dispute on JoyNews’ Newsfile.

He believes Bagbin acted too quickly in ruling four parliamentary seats vacant, a decision now paused by the Supreme Court amid a standoff between the NPP and NDC.

The NDC claims majority status, which the NPP disputes, fueling tension.

Nimako criticized Bagbin for not thoroughly considering the impact of his ruling on parliamentary operations. With the NDC vowing to ignore the court’s stay order, Nimako urged all parties to act responsibly to avoid further escalation.
