Indefinite suspension of Parliament was the best decision ever – Alhassan Suhuyini

The Member of Parliament(MP) for Tamale North Constituency, Hon Alhassan Suhuyihi has praised the Speaker of Parliament,  Rt Hon Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, for his decision to suspend parliamentary sessions indefinitely on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.

Following escalating tensions between the National Democratic Congress(NDC) and New Patriotic Party(NPP) over who had the right to occupy the Majority side of the chamber as a result of decisions by the Speaker and the Supreme Court, the move in his view saved the situation.

The lawmaker emphasized that  it was a necessary decision given the of the country before sitting on Tuesday

In an interview with MyNewsGH.com, Suhuyini emphasized the importance of effective governance.

“I must commend speaker Bagbin, he has always risen to the occasion. If you look at the mood of the country, his decision is the best for that so that we can all take a back seat and reset”

It would be recalled that On Tuesday, October 22,  2024, the  Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, Rt Hon Alban  Bagbin adjourned the House indefinitely, citing a lack of quorum as the reason for halting the session.

This decision he stressed, followed a communication he received from the Supreme Court regarding its earlier ruling declaring four parliamentary seats vacant.

However, the Speaker did not disclose the specifics of the communication from the apex court.

Meanwhile, the Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has promised to petition the Speaker for the recall of parliament to consider urgent matters of national interest.
