Are we on the brink of a constitutional crisis? Is our democratic governance in danger? The signs are clear: Ghana is sitting on a ticking time bomb, ready to explode.

The clashes between the minority and majority groups in parliament paint a picture that only those who understand how chaos unfolds can truly comprehend.

The stage is set for a confrontation between the judiciary and the legislative branch of government, but the true repercussions for us as a nation are yet to be seen. The question of who has the authority to declare or overturn decisions remains unanswered. As parliament reconvenes on October 22, 2024, we will witness a power struggle between the judiciary and the legislature.

Has the hung parliament been a blessing or a curse for the nation? We have already witnessed instances where armed military personnel stormed parliament, for reasons known only to those who ordered them. Will the parliamentary session on October 22 bring even more military presence than we saw in 2021? Only time will tell.

Who is responsible for this hung parliament and the chaos that has ensued? Is it the leadership of the political parties or the Ghanaian voter? Your guess is as good as mine.
