The Speaker of Ghana’s parliament has suspended proceedings indefinitely following wild scenes in the chamber amid a disagreement about which party has the parliamentary majority.
Last week, it was revealed that four MPs had switched allegiances and planned to run for new parties in the general election on December 7.
Speaker Alban Bagbin then declared their seats empty, citing the constitution’s prohibition against MPs defecting.
In a carefully balanced parliament, such a decision, which is being challenged in court, indicates that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken the majority attitude.
Last Friday, President Nana Akufo-Addo’s New Patriotic Party (NPP) petitioned the Supreme Court to rule on whether the speaker correctly read the constitution.
The judges asked the Speaker to suspend his declaration until they made a decision. It is not clear when their judgement will come.
Tuesday marked the first legislative sitting since the Supreme Court’s direction to the Speaker, and MPs from both the NPP and the NDC attempted to fill seats reserved for the dominant party.
Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the NPP’s leader in parliament, eventually urged his MPs to walk out to prevent any potential conflict.
The NDC lawmakers began singing party songs and marching around the chamber.
The Speaker said that without the NPP legislators present there were not enough MPs to make decisions, which is when he suspended proceedings indefinitely.
The suspension has significant implications as it means the government cannot get approval for important funding and laws, which could affect how the country is run over the coming year.
Ghana has a reputation for being one of the most stable democracies in Africa – but the outcomes of its parliamentary and presidential votes tend to be very close.
After general elections in 2020, both the NPP and the NDC each had 137 MPs – with the NPP becoming the majority party after gaining the support of a legislator who had stood as an independent candidate.
It was only found that four MPs had switched allegiances when the list of candidates running for parliament was released ahead of the December election.
Many Ghanaians are concerned about the economic implications of the current political upheaval.
The high cost of living is a major campaign topic for both parties’ presidential candidates, incumbent Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP and John Mahama of the NDC.
Akufo-Addo will step aside as president after two terms.
