The winding Wulensi seat suit has found its slippery hands in the corridors of Parliament as the Speaker and the Minority draws swords.
For more than fifty minutes, Mr Peter Ala Adjetey, had engaged in a monologue selling his tale of innocence in a lingering electoral suit that has the potential to tip the scales of politics in the country.
As he rattled away, employing humour, eloquence and elitist legal jargons, he lit half of the House and numbed the other.
His message was simple;"I am not part of any conspiracy to make the Wulensi seat vacant."
Mr Adjetey, had scolded Mr Bagbin for divulging an official correspondence he had with him on the Wulensi case but furious Alban insist the Speaker had his facts wrong.
He had been out of town left alone giving a document to the Palaver newspaper to publish.
In an unfashionable manner, the back-benchers of the Minority led a walk-out leaving the entire house either half-full or half-empty.
Their leader, Mr Alban Bagbin was refused an opportunity to respond to an address seen as a painful bash.
For more than a year, youthful Samuel Nyimakan, the MP for the area, has being entangled in a fierce legal battle to hold on to a seat that has just a few weeks to be vacant or remain occupied.
For sometime now, Mr Nyimakan has not mustered enough courage to enter the main chamber even as he seeks a review in the Supreme Court on an unfavourable ruling.
His fears are that the Majority members may taunt him and embarrass him so he strolls around the lobby, boards the lift to the coffee shop to socialise with friendly people.
Mr Alban Bagbin describes him as a "loyal and innocent fellow that I must protect."
He is the type who normally enters unnoticed and only grins when others are laughing loud.
Fate may have squeezed humour out of him and now he stands on the threshold of history-to win a seat in a courtroom where manifestoes and the ballot boxes do not play a role or vacate his seat and walk through politically dark alleys.
Even as his seemingly timidity soars, another battle is being fought over him that has the potential of redirecting the destiny of Parliament.
The Minority has vowed to deal with the Speaker of Parliament for "making a statement that has been recorded in the official record of the house and not allowing their leader to respond."
The choir-boy look alike Minority Leader is peeved, angry and vengeful and would be strategising to hit at the Speaker where it hurts most.
His group after having walked out, assembled at the lobby chanting war songs vowing to engage in a long and bitter parliamentary war.
But conspicuously missing was the man at the centre of the anger and controversy: Mr.Nyimakan.
As it stands now, his parliamentary seat, home and power is in the balance. He skips daily over the unseen wall that divides the vast public and Parliament and peeps discreetly over it.
As the 92 member strong minority go to war against a Speaker, they call "dictator and bully", it would only take a supportive Majority to keep him in his chair else Ghanaians may be herding for an unprecedented parliamentary action-an ungovernable House.
