The Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo Markin has said that if the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin disagrees with the Supreme Court order that stays the execution of the ruling to declare four seats vacant, he knows exactly what to do.
He referred to the Speaker’s credential as a seasoned lawyer who has been part of Ghana’s democracy since 1992.
Addressing a press conference at Parliament on Tuesday, October 22, he said “We are law-abiding, we have heard that our colleagues say they disagreed with Supreme Court, using unprinted words on the Supreme Court. Ato Forson led the Minority caucus where they told Ghanaians that today they will come and occupy our seats by their proclamation. NPP, our tradition is a law-abiding tradition, our forebearers always used the courts to correct the wrongs.
“Our leaders had always used civil advocacy and the courts to ensure we get the peace we have today. The country is hereby informed that we will not give that lawless platform that NDC is seeking, we will not give them that theatre they so aggressively seek to destroy our democracy
“We know there are innocent Ghanaians going about their business, academia, and those struggling, we care about them we understand that there is politics but we must do it in a civil manner. we believe that we should quietly yield to them and wait for Mr Speaker.
