Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo- Markin has indicated that, the final ruling of the Supreme Court on the vacant seats issue should not be seen as a one sided victory or defeat but a triumph for the country’s constitutional democracy and the rule of law.

He mentioned that, the law reinforces the principle that, “in our Republic, every institution, no matter how exalted, must operate within the bounds of our constitution”.

Afenyo – Markin in a statement after the Supreme Court’s ruling indicated that, the decision has brought much clarity considering the majority of 5-2 rule.

“Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court, delivered by a considered majority of the 5-2, brings much- needed clarity to a complex constitutional matter that has occupied our August House for some time “.

He indicated that, the Supreme Court brings out its full reason for the verdict, the decision by the Supreme Court is clear and binding.

“I sought clarity on Article 97(1)(g) and (h) of our 1992 Constitution, particularly concerning the Speaker’s power to declare parliamentary seats vacant. While we await the Court’s full written reasoning, its decision on this constitutional question is clear and binding: the Constitution does not grant the Speaker the power to declare parliamentary seats vacant, the statement added”

“I call on all members of Parliament to view this moment as an opportunity for renewal. Let us approach our duties with fresh vigor, determined to work together in the spirit of constructive dialogue and mutual respect. The clarification provided by the Supreme Court should serve as a foundation for more effective parliamentary proceedings”.
