In a recent ruling, Ghana’s Supreme Court has reinstated the ruling party’s majority in parliament, overturning the Speaker's declaration of four seats as vacant. This decision comes just weeks before the upcoming Dec. 7 election in the country.
The controversy arose when two members of parliament from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and one from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) announced their intentions to run as independent candidates. Additionally, an independent candidate aligned with the NPP, further complicating the parliamentary landscape.
