NDC, NPP MPs occupy majority side in Parliament, heightening tensions

The NDC Caucus in Ghana’s Parliament has occupied the Majority’s seats, escalating tensions between the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

This move follows Speaker Alban Bagbin’s recent ruling, which declared four seats vacant, effectively giving the NDC a numerical advantage.

The NPP has appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court, creating uncertainty over parliamentary control.

With heightened security and potential clashes anticipated, political stability is at stake as Ghana prepares for the 2024 general elections, prompting calls for restraint from the Ghana Center for Democratic Development.
