Resolve ongoing impasse before end of 8th Parliament – ACEPA urges MPs

The Africa Center for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA) has called on senior Members of Parliament to resolve the ongoing impasse in the House before the conclusion of the current session of the 8th Parliament.

Dr. Rasheed Draman, Executive Director of ACEPA, emphasized the need for MPs to align their actions with the court’s ruling on the matter.

This appeal comes in response to a statement by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, who asserted that the House could not reconvene before the December elections.

The Speaker’s position follows calls from the Majority Caucus for an emergency recall to address urgent government business.

Speaking to Citi News, Dr. Draman highlighted the importance of ensuring that the 8th Parliament concludes on a constructive note, avoiding the chaos that marred its beginning.
