Avoid chaos and anarchy on Tuesday – Gabby advises Parliament

Gabby Asare Otchere Darko, a prominent member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged Parliament to avoid chaos and anarchy during its session on Tuesday, October 22.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, October 20, Otchere Darko called for calm amidst the growing political tension in the House following the Speaker’s ruling that declared four parliamentary seats vacant.

His comments come after the NDC caucus in Parliament threatened to occupy the Majority side, despite a Supreme Court ruling that stayed the Speaker’s declaration.

The Speaker’s decision had sparked a standoff between the two sides, with the Minority insisting they would take action during the upcoming parliamentary session.

The Supreme Court’s ruling was issued Thursday, following an application for a stay of execution on the Speaker’s decision.

 


The Court’s intervention has temporarily halted the Speaker’s declaration, preventing immediate changes to the composition of the House.

Mr Otchere Darko’s appeal comes as tensions continue to rise, with many concerned that the situation could escalate into conflict within Parliament.

He urged both sides to respect the rule of law and maintain order to safeguard Ghana’s democratic principles.

“Parliament must, by all means, avoid a situation of seeming chaos and anarchy Tuesday. I suggest the two Leaders and Speaker meet before then to agree or agree to disagree on the next steps. Not long to Dec 7, let maturity be our guide and guard,” he posted.
