Ghana parliament shut again as MPs boycott session before elections [VIDEO]

Ghana's parliament adjourned indefinitely after NPP lawmakers failed to attend, delaying crucial budget approvals ahead of elections.

The absence of the NPP legislators stalled government business, including crucial budget approvals needed to pay public sector workers ahead of December’s closely contested presidential vote.The political impasse stems from the speaker’s decision in October to declare four seats vacant, arguing that the sitting MPs had broken the constitution by shifting party affiliation.

Despite the NPP’s emergency recall request, they failed to attend when the house was called to order, leaving the opposition NDC MPs, who had taken their seats at the majority side, visibly frustrated. “We don’t intend to disrupt government business. We turn out in our numbers only to realise there is no urgent business. They have given up and want this election to come so they can hand over.”
