LIVESTREAMED: Supreme Court hears Speaker Bagbin's application on declaration of vacant seats

The Supreme Court of Ghana is hearing Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin's challenge of the court's decision to set aside his declaration of four seats in the House vacant.

Bagbin’s lawyer has asked the Supreme Court to set aside “the processes and proceedings in the Supreme Court” that led to the directive of the 5-member panel of the court, chaired by Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, for him to stay his declaration of the seats vacant.

The lawyers also asked for the “vacating of the order of the Court dated October 18, 2024.”
