New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament and Trade Minister, Kobina Tahir Hammond, has declared that the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, will be cited for contempt of court in the ongoing legal dispute over four vacant parliamentary seats.
The controversy stems from Speaker Bagbin‘s decision to stand by the declaration of the seats of four MPs—Cynthia Morrison (Agona West), Kojo Asante (Suhum), Andrew Asiamah (Fomena), and Peter Kwakye Ackah (Amenfi Central)—as vacant—a decision which suspended by the Supreme Court and proceed with parliamentary sitting with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament holding themselves as the Majority Caucus.
